gonna get my car stickered up exactly the same as the MY95 sti 555 and have heard that the number on the side could be illegal but i doubt this as theres quite a few on scoobynet who have had this done!

any ideas?

cheers guys!

 

i think it is illegal mate but the best thing to do it put a line through the number that you put on, thats what the boys with rally cars do after a event anyway and thats legal then.

 

iirc you can't have numbers on your car, but *apparently* fast cart/max mower or someone say that you can draw a thin line through them that's barely visible and that makes it alright...

like i said, iirc, and i have a memory like a sieve lol

 

I bought one of those almost 5 months ago and not pulled by the fuzz yet. Only because the original shattered as i was driving.

 

yeah numbers on your car are illegal, but have never got pulled, and cars on rallies do road sections with them on, but if u got a picky copper u may have an argument on your hands.

But putting a line through it does void it as said by Dave uk blue mica

New rule is carry a marker pen at all times guys and gals.

 

I can't see why it would be illegal. Some of the new minis have numbers on the side don't they. Why would it be a problem??

 

whats the problem with numbers on doors???? i can see the point if they were near the number plate as they could say you are trying to change your reg or something, but on the doors, it makes no sense! what reason do they give?

 

Local estate agent to me drive round with stickered up Mini's with numbers on them, but they never get pulled

its mainly insurance problems with the number on the car thing,you have a crash and they see the number then it can void your insurance

 

estate agents have phone numbers etc on there doors which is ok, as si says if they see a race number they could be picky and void your insurance

It is a mahoooooooosive race style number.

 

Why have one? They look pants.

 

lol my car came with the rally stickers as an option in japan and i want my car to look like this!



cheers for the info guys! just had a thought if i'm not allowed any numbers on the car how can i have 555?

 

Why would a vinyl sticker void your insurance?

 

so if your car says the engine size/model badge (eg 2.0sri) on the back then is that illegal as it has numbers? my works van has the phone number plastered across the back - does that have to come off too? and number plates - they got numbers in them! where do they draw the line?

 

 

theres a differance between a phone number and a box with a so called RACE number in it

 

read the first post " is it illegal to have a rally style number on your car? "

a rally number is a race number as in the number 5 for burns, your insurance is not covered for motorsports and by putting a number on it like this then makes the car a motorsport car as in they think its a rally car for comps,unless you sort it out with you insurance company

 

ps, someone give him some common sense

 

I wouldn't recommend it, it makes your eyes water

 

And what about the numbers etched onto your window-glass?

 

so if i had it like this without the actual race number would that be ok?

 

But why, why, why do you want it to look like that? Is it for the attention?

Doesn't subtlety impinge upon your life at any point? Do you walk around the streets dressed like Timmy Mallett, or the Riddler? Perhaps you have lime green platform shoes emblazoned with the serial number of the USS Enterprise in dayglo orange.

 

my car is a stupidly rare wrx sti 555 (not a v-limited) and that is how nearly all of them look!

i can not understand how any impreza enthusiast (spelling) can think that car looks crap!

 

Even more rare then, seeing as it doesn't. You should congratulate yourself.

 

The reason most cars are seen with the numbers with a line through them is that they are genuine competition cars & the organising bodies (BRSCC,BARC,BRDC etc.) forbid any championship cars numbers being exposed on the road. Therefore any cars with numbers that are fully exposed are driven by wannabe race/rally boys & should be given a wide berth at all costs. Tony has mentioned he'll make this illegal at the next sitting of parliament together with whoosing dump valves.

You're joking. It looks a complete dog's dinner, especially for road use. It's going to look absolutely fantastic and not at all over-the-top or stupid when you're loading your carrier-bags into it at ASDA . Lord ha' mercy, what is it about owners that cannot see how ineffably toss this kind of get-up looks on a car that doesn't race? No-one is impressed except ten-year-old kids and the mentally subnormal. Do yourself a favour and get an anonymous wagon and make it go like foof.

 

why the hell would i want a wagon (anonymous means green right?) when i got a cracking sti?

 

Well be happy with that then, and forget about putting loads of **** graffiti all over it.
