Xchloexxxx Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Sorry if posted in wrong section, looking for advice.I've been told different laws about reg plates on imported vehicles and I'm unsure on what I could do.I want to get a reg plate small as possible but that is legal, as traffic cops where I live are a nightmare.Anyone got any idea on measurements?As you can see that is one monster of a reg plate and nearly takes up the whole front end up of my car lol!

BJShipley Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Get a smaller one and keep that one that's currently in the car. And then if you are pulled and if they ever say anything just say you have them plates in the car and swap them over they can't do anything then Bret. Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I have a usa 12x6 plate on the front of mine it's been fine Quote
Big Dog Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) This site seems to explain it well...https://www.craigsplates.com/import-number-platesIt seems you need a standard UK plate unless your car meets one of 2 criteria. It's explained in the link.I wouldn't advise displaying illegal plates but keeping legal ones in the car. It's about displaying legal plates, not simply having them to hand. You could still be fined.

Xchloexxxx Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Pics would help, as I don't know where to mount the new reg. Glanzas don't suit reg plates full stop! Don't want it covering the front mount Quote

That wouldn't work... may as well drive about without one fitted and say "it's in the car so what's the problem" Quote

Idrees Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 12x6" is the best size if you want to stay legal. 9x3" is the best if you don't. Quote
Xchloexxxx Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Brill thanks for the help! Aamir will be happy I'm finally sorting this out lol! Quote
morgey Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 few of my mates use stick on reflective ones. Ones on his windscreen where his mirror is and the other was on his rx7 in front of the bonnet on the top of the bumper. Both have been pulled they got moaned at but they measure standard size are reflective and are readable from so many feet infront of the vehicle so pass all cops checks so cant be done for it Quote
