Question Front plate that tilts when moving?

Remember seeing a thread on here years ago. Can't find it using search. Who can help me find it or give some guidance on where the above can be tracked down / bought. I like the idea of a front plate that tilts from vertical to horizontal when moving as it (a) helps out with front facing speed cameras (b) IMHO will look great!

TX.

Used to have a plate on hinges on my mini, used to fold up when doing over about 30 and then drop back when slowing down.

Unfortunely due to the sad states of affairs in this country more likely to get jailed for a motoring related incident than a being a pedo or a rapist !!
Seen a few Miata's in the states with folding no plates - Have a look here should give few ideas on how to make one !
Team Miata - Aftermarket Accessories for your Miata and look at liscence bracket

They're pretty easy to make yourself with inexpensive bits of hardware from B & Q etc.

Made one for my old scooby a few years ago!

Correx I think. The plastic corrugated material. Easily available from the midnight garage, estate agents post big sheets of it outside various houses around you just stapled to wooden posts, feel free to help yourself.
