Gerry Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Sailed through the MOT today, apart from the front number plate which didn't even make it into the garage before it was thown out. It's a Craigsplates "import" one (about 2/3 standard size). Just out of interest I gave the tester a copy of the DVLA blurb which says "certain specific imports" can fit a smaller import plate. He said he'd never heard of it but would be happy to check and get back to me (he's a nice guy, doing up a 1976 Celica GT at the mo). It will be interesting to see what he comes back with. Anyway, the new big plate looks great in the boot --- Smiled at myself when I saw my reflection in the big reception-workshop window when they were testing the car. I was pacing up and down looking worried (even more than usual) reminded me of a dad watching an operation on one of his kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I was pacing up and down looking worried (even more than usual) reminded me of a dad watching an operation on one of his kids God I hate MoTs, always think they're going to scratch it or crash it into the test station wall at 2pmh or something. I'd rather have teeth pulled out lol I had the legal minimum size registration (smaller plate/letters) on the front of my Supe and never had an issue at MoTs / never got pulled. Apart from being legal, assuming I couldn't fit a larger plate , it loooked fine TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
