Hanging off the front splitter
On the back of the passenger sun visor

[wassy78]

On my car :)

[Moke]

Leave it on the back seat until the police pull you over.

That's a lovely Saxo!

[Tontsy]

snap it, and leave it on your seat. get stopped say some cunt had backed into you or kicked it whilst it was in a car park!

[rick_VTR]

personaly would do the above.

but if i did fit it, it would be a small square type, where one of the fog lights used to be :y:

use sticky pads on the top and where it goes in at the bottom use little aluminium brackets or small bolts so the plate is suspended away from the bumper if you understand that?

That's actually really clever haha never thought of that!


To the OP, that Saxo is lush!

[jakeyboi]

cars look so smooth with out wipers , may need to take mine off , i would leaqve it in the window , or as above snap it

[Tontsy]

tbf,the numberplate rule is

Display on the Front of the vehicle!
thats A pilar onwards... technically, you can get away with where it is.

[manta]

get a small stick on one :)

[Tontsy]

i feel like some wicked advice guru...fuck yeah im cool.

[ed-bradley]

I'd get a small stick on one.

[Viper]

I don't care but you need to get some mirror caps!!!

[CraigLovelock]

Is that actually a stanced well saxo? Am shocked :D

As said, wait till you get pulled :D

[wassy78]

Yeh the Saxo looks mint :) mines in the front window and been ok even my rear number plate is in window . Had a copper follow me for 5 min other night and was ok :)

[Jase125]

I've been pulled twice before tho involving plates :(. Are you actually allowed to have it in the window? Or a smaller plate size somewhere on the bumper?

A number plate costs £5.......

[Cam]

Nope displaying on window is not allowed, my mate got a £60 fine for doing it on his smoothed corsa.

I'd rather not snap a plate and save a fiver. Just as easy to say the plate fell of. My plate has those adhesive squares on and their dry so..

They'll do you for not checking them.

I'd rather spend the fiver.

I don't see how you can get away with someone kicked it off or reversed into you and it snapped the screws would hold it in place.
Meh I'll stick with my way. cops haven't taken any notice of mine in window.

There's these little things called sticky pads? ;)

[GolfJay]

For monthes I ran the Polo with the number plate in the window with no issues. As soon as it wasn't displayed at all, they fucked me with 3 points and £60 fine!

Window should be fine!

[jeffchiz]

this is why i never had my recess smoothed out :) on the front or back, just adapted them lol

[LSOfreak]

just keep it where it is imo, or put it on the passenger side sunvisor

[saxoclarke]

dunno weather its true but i heard cars that dont have number plate recesses e.g jap imprts like some of the mx 5s are aloud either stick on ones or ones in the window , because you shouldnt have to cut body work to fit the plate so if this is true you could use that excuse

[Jay_]

Is that Chris summit VTR? that he split ages ago?

[LeeM]

im trying to find the specific info, but the plate needs to be at the very front of the car and vertical

[Jay_]

I'm guessing you mean horizontal?

[Moke]

I'm guessing you mean horizontal?

+1 lol!

[Prickle]

on the front of the bumper where they are meant to go. :homme:

[kclipston]

I put my number plate here, then took it back off for shows etc... not the best picture as i was fixing the front bumper at the time lol

[jeffchiz]

nah different cars

[Rogue_Shadow]

Don't ruin the lovely sax with a crappy plate :(

[MiniGibbo]

Either in its place or in the boot.

Anything else looks shit.

[CraigLovelock]

Could make you a reflective vinyl one if you wanted ;)

no, vertical. ie not at an angle

Horizontal = ____________

Vertical = |

so SURELY you mean horizontal...

[LeeM]

not quite sure if im being trolled... if you had a number plat in your hand, lie it flat on the floor and its horizontal, stand it up and the face of the plate is vertical

[Jay_]

ahhhhhh you are think of the plate from the side, I thinking from face on.

Got you
:y:

[LeeM]

lol sorted! but im sure i read that within the regulations but typically cant find anything that refers to anything other than font size and spacing etc.
so when its in the window its at the wrong angle and too far back on the car. id imagine it should be at the front due to acting as a vehicles front reflector

[K17NEY]

I usually keep mine in the car, If i get stopped ill just say it fell off earlier. Definitely doing what Tonto said though, Fucking genius that is.

[LSOfreak]

its even got the same dash and seats?? and also conveniently has missing mirror caps too :detective:

Or put it in the widemouth on front bumper

[LeeM]

put it on a hinge in the widemouth.

[K17NEY]

put it on a hinge in the widemouth.

This^^^. There is an E30 by me with a hinged plate, Anything over 20mph and it's hidden but when stopped it looks normal. Cool as fuck IMO.

[LSOfreak]

yeah it is the chrisvtr1989's, has the same number plate

[Damask]

hinged is genius!
I'd say just stock up on sticky pads and wd40, stick it where it goes for every day, take it off and remove the sticky bits for shows, meets and photoshoots...

[Furio-92]

[dave_1]

Theres an impreza in the national rally that has a hinged plate just folds up when the car is going. Go for the james bond style and have it rotate out of the bumper

[K17NEY]

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv148/jack_042/IMG_0269.jpg


That look's horrendous, As does the clipped plate in the background.

[Damask]

just thought of a bonus for hinged... no numberplate on show when the speed cameras get you ;)

6 of my point's are from cameras, Both times from the front.

[LSOfreak]

average speed limit ones on motorways are forward facing. Dude i know just takes his plate of the dash when going through average speed camera zones lol

[Jay_]

ah I didn't know that :y:

[Damask]

to be fair jay, i didnt even know that there were rear facing ones, seeing as the times my family have been caught, they tried to blame the other driver (like my dad was a lorry driver at the time, and it could have harmed his job to have points, he tried to say it was my mum, but they sent a picture of a 40 year old man driving back.... i told him to say 'yes, thats my wife, shes beautiful on the inside..)
But yeah, there are rear facing ones too :)

[Lewis]

In the normal place, its the only one that doesn't look awkward. Just get a clean normal plate

[Jase125]

Im just gunna ring vosa tomorow and ask them see what they say!

In Top Gear when they went to Japan I think, the law states you cannot be prosecuted unless they have the drivers picture too. So they had masks for the speed cameras, lol...
