Terminator Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 New regs came in on April 1st, the day I got stopped for my front plate being too small. There is another thread on here somewhere with a link to the DVLA site giving legal sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ayling Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Well I've had my small front plate for months now and never had any problems: http://www.mpaconsultancy.co.uk/supra/topdown50percent.jpg .....touch wood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Show us a picture of the number plate, then. And by the way, you appear to have a very small bit of dymo tape stuck to your bumper My front plate is 0.5" not tall enough. No-one has noticed yet... -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboost Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I have a document from the DVLA stating if the car has a bumper bracket on the car (import only), your plate can be the same size as the bracket but not smaller. The ones on the supra front are 10.5" wides by about 3". I done this and never got stopped. I will find the doucment and post up. I recieved it last sempember Boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrboost Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 CARS DESIGNED FOR ROADS ABROAD OFTEN HAVE AN APETURE IN THE BUMPER FOR A NUMBER PLATE THAT DOES NOT MATCH A LEGAL UK SIZE. IN THE PAST MOTORCYCLE PLATES HAVE BEEN USED. INITIALLY THE DVLA ISSUED A STATEMENT TO SAY THAT THIS PRACTICE WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED AFTER SEPTEMBER 1ST 2001 HOWEVER ......... TRANSPORT MINISTER JOHN SPELLAR ANNOUNCED ON 31ST JULY THAT THE PRACTICE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. All info is on DVLA web site. Hope it helps.... Print it out and if you get stopped show it the police officer. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
