Number plate in front window?

[Deleted member 13907]

Was going to say its probably fine, cos you can put trade plates on the inside of the screen, but then trade plates only really relate to the taxation on the car, rather than its identity, so could be a whole different kettle of fish.

also found something i didnt know about letter sizes on import cars, the letters are allowed to be 64mm due to the size of the number plate its goin onto, and you must have 11mm between the letter and edge of the plate, jackpot

ahh the old import problem, dont get me started on this lad lol, fekin torture!

And this new 'system' has really messed it up even getting a standard plate made for our import cars...

they obviously didn't think of us when they were thinking up their new money grabbing schemes


ps: them plates in the front window look rediculous, leaving the recess especially just looks like your plate fell off...

Trade plates should be displayed where the number plate is and covering the cars number plates, not on the dash.
