Dutchie27 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Do I get jap or square plates ?I've looked at both but can't find any jap plates that are road legal in the UK for a UK spec car all I can find are the ones that are for actual imports ?Can anybody get me a link for front and back plates either will do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Square plates look awful. You need 12x6 plates, plenty of n/a owners have them, not sure how they get round it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loguey Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I've got 12x6 and got through my last m.o.t with them. And i didnt have to buy him a beer... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchie27 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Where ya get yours from loguey ? What you guys think to these Look at this on eBay:JAP / USA 12x6 NUMBER PLATES FOR IMPORT CARS ROAD LEGALhttp://bit.ly/RS42Hq Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Jap plates are 13 x 6.5, American plates are 12 x 6. Get a set from here they are actually decent plates not that cheap black plastic shite. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAP-IMPORT-NUMBER-PLATE-13-x6-5-100-ROAD-LEGAL-/170662643274?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27bc49464a Edited February 12, 2013 by DavidAshton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rubix_Cube Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Import size plates on UK car can get you a fine from the police. Legally you can only run a stock size rectangle plate or a square plate.Rectangular plates looks fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchie27 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 That's proper shit I want jap plates guess ill have to settle for square then Thanks anyways guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTStarlet92 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 is it not that they're legal on cars pre 2001? That's what I was led to believe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jhandy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Tbh the police only really pull you if they have different spaces in between the letters. I have been pulled a couple of times for a check. And never mentioned my plates Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchie27 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Don't know what to do now ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rubix_Cube Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Technically illegal, but you're going to have to find a right anal copper to charge you I'd imagine.They are legal on import cars which cannot accommodate a UK rectangular reg plate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Mate get 12x6 I've had them on every car I've owned and NEVER been pulled with them, I was stopped by a fed twice Nd they didn't mention anything about plates at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 12x6 is the way forward mate! I got mine from eBay, the same place dave Ashton got his from above ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchie27 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Police are gay! As long as the reg is shown it should be legal but yea I reckon ill go for the 12X6 Anybody got any pictures of 12X6 fitted ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
