AdamB Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Anyone got any pics of sticker number plates? Thinking of putting one on the bottom lip of my Toms bumper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I ran one on my civic for a while. Even passed an MOT with it. Aslong as its near the standard size and relflective it should be fine, never got any pulls either.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
