DavidAshton Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Asking for trouble imo.I ran a small one for all of a week before getting pulled etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Georgie Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 yes its to small lol my bf had one on his mr2 and the old bill hated it he had sumthing stupid like 10 fines then they threatened to give him a q plate lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 will probably get pulled but theres a guy putside my gfs house with a audi tt that had no front one for a bit and now he has one about half the size of that. this is about 10 metres from a police station Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Looks a bit to small, also i thought stick-on numberplate's were illegal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 keep your origional in the car, i got pulled with mine like yours, they made me rip it off on the side of the road before i could go, and was going to give me a £60 fine but i talked them round.its just not worth the hassle mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have a pretty small one, as seen below (sounds dodgy) and I've never been pulled for it (had it over 2 years like that). Yours is maybe a little smaller but since it's not an actual plate it looks a lot worse, get an actual plate the same size and put it in the middle then you're morelikelyto get away with it.

bucketep91 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 yeah my mate made me it, when he showed me it ont he computer it looked fine but when it came out of the cutter it just looked soo small, i could always have a bigger 1 made, its only vinyl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 i believe that the the regulations are regard to the spacing and the font style and minimum size of letteringtbh your asking to be pulled with a number plate that small, if you have one like this and not been pulled, you been lucky. works the same with tinting your front windows, some people get caught some don't.i reckon it will look alright if you put standard size plate (vinyl) in the same place as your current small one. will look fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcbeal Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 even if the police dont see it the traffic cars cameras dont pic them up right for some reason so ul get flagged n no doubt stopped happened to a guy i know with his evo and they gave him a hard time about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 For a start it is a sticker which wont have the same reflective properties as a UK standard numberplate. It is also too small which is asking for trouble. Even bikers have problems with small plates so a car with them isn't going to be any better. And finally im guessing it doesn't have the BS approval code and postcode of where it was made, this makes it illegal which will make it fail it's MOT unless the MOT place is a bit more easy on it. Up to you bud but personally i'd stick to standard size text etc regardless of how it looks.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
