Number Plates

[Guest Bobbers]

My wife has relieved me of the interesting reg number off my s7 ,so dvla have supplied be with a new one that's standard . I think the plate will look to big on the front and I might put a stick on one on the nose cone . Are these legal , the old one was around half size and the police didn't like it , got told on a few occasions to get a proper one .

[Bob Tucker]

No

I've got a stick on one on the front top of my nose cone. Never had an issue.

Technically, stick on number plates on our nosecones are not legal, because they are supposed to be vertical, or near enough. As has been said,, people do use them, but sooner or later some bright bobby will take umbridge at it.

you could fit this 'ebay item 172153648942, then weld a couple of brkts on for the numberplate. similar to the ones originally fitted to the mark 3's

I use a 3/4 one..its perfect for the width of the nosecone..never had an issue in 4 years.full size on the rear though where the cops will spend more time viewing it.

Standard number plate mounted low enough is an early warning of speed bump height/bad camber & ours most times is a little bent.

Mines stick on and so far so good.

Like the 3/4 one though.

I'm going to have a look around for one of those.

I have a stick on one but not had any problems. But i do put a proper one on when i MOT the car

[Guest mower man]

Bobbers that number was supposed to be non transferable and was a part reason I originaly bought the car, the front plate I believe was a 2/3 size reduction by a friendly plate maker not strictly legal but never had any probs with mot or plod in 12 years you may find some one locally to do you one, regards mick

I thought that Mick ,but dvla just transferred it across as it had nothing in the special notes section of the v5 , Ive ordered a 3/4 size plate which will be ok I think . Ive been stopped once for that small one on the front been told to change it and once at a car meet ,they were OK about it just said it was illegal , either our local officers are keen or I look dodgy

[Guest 2b cruising]

That's a dodgy one then!

I won't slam the door on my way out.
