In two minds wether to order one for my type r, I really hate my standard plate and have had a full size ( standard ) sticker plate on my bonnet before with my previous sub with no issues.
I would again look to locate it on the bonnet as I feel its fully visible and less chance of attracting attention.

Thoughts ?

I've heard they are or will become illegal.

I had one on my Westfield for many years with no problems, it sort of suited that type of car though). The scooby may be a different matter though as it clearly has a space for a standard numebr plate. I'd say it would be a good reason for a fussy rozzer to pull you over

 

Yes I believe they are too but are they really that hot on a full size correct spacing reflective sticker plate ... I no they can give you a tug for it but what are the consequences..
If I do it I would carry my standard plate in the boot just incase, like I said a few years back I had one on my early classic on the bonnet with no issues a d I think it was illegal then as much as it is now. Still undecided lol

 

I had one before but changed it to a square one which looks better anyway.

 

As it happens I've fitted one this morning and cant make my mind up whether i like it or not

 

I used to have a stick on plate on my old classic. Never had any issues from the law.




I then swapped to this and preferred the look.

 

Still uming n arring about this myself but this is mine for now

Right I've just ordered one from craigplates but it has a black border is this gonna be a issue as all the pics above have no border ! My type r is black and the border is black so prob wont show just wonder ... Hmmmm. They don't give u a option without the border !!

 

Hell no

 

Again no no no, a square to the right would look alright though I think

 

Mine has a black border. Just cant see it.

I dont think it will be an issue on a non black car

 

Don't like the square plates at the side

To the op stick it on see what you think if you like it keep it on if not stick with the original

Lol I zoooomed in on all the pics couldn't see a black border on urs also lol in that case the border shouldn't be issue

 

Yes agreed, number plates to the side are for evos anyway and is just don't look right on scoob !!

Well I have bough and paid for it now guess it will be here in a few days, I liked the look of it on my previous sub but that was a few years back just making sure there is no major clamp down on using them, I no there not legal but people still run them just needed to make sure it was safe ( ish )

 

Yea yeah yeah- looks rad man

 

I'd mock it up on the bonnet if I was with you with a bit of tape before you stick down see if you like it. Think it gives an individual look, some like it some hate it but its your car at the end of the day

I think it can look good if you've got a short plate. A full size plate or anymore than 5 digits just doesn't look good.
The black bug above really looks good as its got a short plate whereas the one above it looks all wrong.

 

Been there, done that, just not on the bonnet.

Vynyl plate;



Offset square plate;



And both, for a short time.



I only had both fitted, as my new splitter and bonnet vent's weren't painted in time and I had a wedding to go to.

 

It looks silly when there's already a recess or mounting plate on the car somewhere. IMO of course.

 

EFA

 

 

Never had any probs with the police and the no. Plate sticker

 

My old car on the left, and my mates on the right. He got fined for his so the same day i changed mine back lol Didn't really like the look tbh.

 

How much did they fine him and was it just fine ?

 

I can't remember, i'll ask him tomorrow. He was driving round with that plate for a few years tho. Just bad luck i guess. To add the cherry, he was pissed off and i think he pulled some of the paint off his bonnet when he removed it lol

 

How are MOT centres about these? Would the police more then likely have a problem with it being on the bonnet or the splitter?.

 

They're MOT passable and legal as advised by numerous MOT testers.

The plate must be:

Standard size, font, spacing, reflective and readable from the front of the vehicle.

If it fits that criteria, you won't have an issue.

 

Thanks Frayz!

 

Cars registered after 01 September 2001 will need a BS stamp on the plate
