Anyone know where I can get one of those small plates for the front ?

 

Unless your car is an import and thus allowed to use small plates (like they do in Japan) Dont do it.The plod will give you a fixed penalty £30 and force you to change it for a full size plate! Not worth it mate.

 

Righto ! Cheers for the info mate

 

Even if you have an import, they still stop you sometimes !! (if you're passing through Aviemore that is). They usually give you 21 days to fix them though - they did with me at least !!

If you do facny them though, try fancyplates.com. They can make any size you want so you can go for slightly smaller letters that won't attract too much attention (mine were very small). I was told by plod that you could cut down the plate as long as the letters and spacing were ok.

Echo the statements above - I had a slightly smaller front plate (80% of full size) and lasted about 2 weeks with it!

Have now got legal-sized letters but the plate itself is smaller, as long as there's a gap between the letters and edge of the plate (1cm IIRC) then you're allowed to do that.

I have a small sticker plate ( Ala WRC ) on the front of my Scoob

But I also carry a larger (Import legal) sticker plate. In case I get threatened?

I can get them made for you if you like?

 

How much are they Steve. Could probably do with one for the GTR.

The full size perspex one looks pants !!

 

For U Dave 0 pennies

I can get it made tommorow if you wish ( what size you after)

Same as mine?

P.S. I Know the number

 

Steve, you have mail....

 

Steve do the stickers go on the block that you should attach normal plate to ? If so v interested

I got mine made because my FMIC did away with the normal mounting plate.

You can see ME CAR AT www.cruisecheshire.com/iceax/scoobymeet

Pix 57 & 61

Got username on windows too ( Rest and more were on car when imported)

Should be able to get what you want made ( As long as its sticker )

 

P.S.

This is not a bussiness.
cheers
Steve

 

I'll measure the block and let you know

Cheers

 

I have had one for about 2 years, pulled twice but only got a ticking off.

One was a traffic car, the other was a panda.

Still carry full size plate incase I need to do some grovelling!!

 

I put my small plate on a few weeks ago..
So far not had any hassle...but if i get pulled, i'll go back to the original size.

 

Dave.


I Will be parked outside Comet After 6

 

Cool. Should be there around 6:15.

Thanks matey

 

had mini front plate on mine and lasted two days but then perth police are to$$ers

 

FYI
I ran with a MINI plate on for around 6 months or so. Got waved down one night by the local plod just to warn me that the traffics were due through that night
I had a couple of strips of velcro on the wee one with a spare 'normal' plate under the driver seat to be attached in an emergency
