Front number plate
I need to change my front number plate as its too small.
I want to get a stick on one so I can put it on the bumper so it doesn't stop airflow. Are these classed as legal and if so where can I get one?
Thanks.

Stick on number plates are not technically legal even if they are the correct size and font. To be legal the plate must also meet the following spec...
2. On Vehicles first Registered on or after 1 January 1973, Check
a. the colour of the characters and background
b. that the registration plates are fixed vertically, or as close to vertical as is reasonably practical
3. On vehicles first registered on or after 1 September 2001, check that the registration plates
a. display the name and postcode of the supplying outlet
b. display a BSAU145d marking
c. do not display a honeycomb or similar effect background
For earlier cars they don't need all of the extra bumpf that is on the plate, but on the bonnet is not vertical:Brickwall
