In UK there are around 8 points the police can pull you up on regarding the incorrect displaying of number plates.

Things like font style, size of numbers and letters, colour, background, spacing, list goes on.

I bought an adhesive plate and moved my plate to the bonnet.

yeah our plates are issued by the state, and have to be clearly displayed (in the rear only in my state) and have to be properly lit.

I have only ever run into issue on my motorcycle as I have ti mounted vertically vs horizontally....but I just have gotten warnings.

Over here the police can prevent you from driving the vehicle until the correct type of plate is displayed.

So if they pull you over and they see the plate is wrong they can make you sort it out before you go any further.

yeah, here is the same, if they feel you have the wrong plates they will take them and then give you a set amount of time to remove the vehicle..but the catch is you can't drive ti without the plate so if you drive away they arrest you for driving without plates...

SPOT on, looks very purposeful, you'd certainly move over if you saw that close up in your rear view mirror

Are you going to change the orange reflectors on the front wings (Fenders) mark?

a couple of clear reflectors would look nice on silver

Over here when we remove the orange lights or reflectors off a car we call it detangoing.

Not sure if you have it in the U.S. but over here there is an orange fizzy canned drink called tango. Orange lights means the cars been tangoed

so we de-tango

I had some clear ones but they were cheap and fell apart after some time on the car, so I went back to the stocker ones, I may go clear sometime, but depends on if I find some quality clear ones.

Keep a look out for carbon fibre ones too.

I gotta say that the car has quite an aggressive look. Very nice Mark
