number plate
 

hi, getting a front mount intercooler fitted, is it legal to fit a smaller number plate at the front or will i just get pulled all the time?

Is the car an import? if so i think you can get motorbike sized letters but that's all.

Expect plenty of pulls i would say!

it is an import, will that make any differance

If it's an import and not subject to European whole vehicle type approval, then you can get away with characters of 64mm height.

Yes that's correct.
I had my car plates made up to those specs. I've only been pulled about 5 times for it (about once a year), and always by the local bobbies and not Traffic cops.
Last time it happened, I was parked outside a takeaway (Sat. night, at pub closing time) when I saw two beat bobbies looking over the car. Within a couple of minutes there were two police cars, and 6 policemen there. They couldn't care less that I was parked on a yellow line, they were only concerned about the small plates. I just let them get on with the lecture on the dangers of illegal number plates. When he started writing out the ticket however, I produced a printout of the regulations. They went away red faced but better educated.

thats great folks thanks for that, :thumb:
