Flip Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Got mine off ebay, from someone like this:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SELF-ADHESIVE-CAR-NUMBER-PLATE-STICK-ON-FRONT_W0QQitemZ150131984324QQihZ005QQcategoryZ52638QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem As an aside, I have an MOT coming up, do these plates generally get through an MOT? I have a full size plate and normal lettering, its just that its sticky, not a proper one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(will this stuff stick to the fiberglass bumpers ok?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 no there not road legal unfortunatly You're correct that they aren't road legal but wrong that they'll cause you to fail an MoT test. You can pass the MoT test just fine with a stick-on or undersized plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 go to your local stermat theer 29p each and they are all 72mm high and minimal wide dimensions from the dvla point of view I got E16 ADY from there, not got stopped yet - visit the dvla web site,you have to have at least 11 mm gap in between letters, ect ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 your plate needs to be visible from a distance and square on pretty much to pass an MOT, you can stick it on the bottom, i have seen them there but there is a chance of getting pulled and you wont get through an MOT unless your tester is very forgiving and a little bit blind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 i failed an MOT cause of a stuck on plate a few years back (wasnt on a supra)Not because it was a stick on one. I'm sure the MOT test only checks the spacing or format(layout not font) of the chars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Not because it was a stick on one. I'm sure the MOT test only checks the spacing or format(layout not font) of the chars nope mine was all spaced and formated correctly and i still got a fail on the MOT i think the rule of thumb is try it and see can always temp fit a plate, mine was in the same kind of possision at the picture above, they said it was not correctly visible from the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either against the rules or isnt. AFAIK there is no rule against stick on plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
