Get a nice short reg number say 3 digits then you can put chopped down plate on which would look nicer than full length

Sticker plate in the eyes of the law just as bad as no plate at all. Infact I think you can get points for mis-sized sticker plate, whereas no plate at all is just a fine, no points.
Theres a great example of the law being an ass. Absurd.

I would say bent plate. For some reason I think they look quite cool on the car. Seriously though this is one of the problems with modern supercars, there is no where to mount the numberplate on a great number of them.

Could just get the plate mount fitted from Lamborghini. Granted you have to drill the front bumper but looks a lot better than a bent plate on the front.


Wont work with parking sensors as UK plates too big. OK for smalller Italian plates.

The reason that I posted a bent plate , as this car has parking sensors so its bent plate , no plate , sticker so far.

A 'friend' of mine has never been pulled with no front plate since 2005, across numerous Lambo's and Ferrari's

They just keep falling off sadly, double sided sticky tape is not what it used to be back in the day he says

A mis-sized or incorrect font on the number plate is a non-endorsable offence = no points
Currently the fine is £60
Some police forces are hotter than others, Dorset will fine you and report you to DVLA, who will write to you asking for photographic evidence that you have the correct size plate fitted. Once you have sent them the photos (F&R) what you do is up to you.
I believe DVLA operate a three strike policy, if you get reported to them three times then they will simply take your registration number away. Even if you have paid them for the number you don't actually own it, you only have leave, via them, from the secretary of state to use that number.

That wont make the slightest bit of difference, most of the coppers that pulled me had seen me on numerous occasions with no plate, so knew it had not just fallen off. As for a copper thinking the car looks better without a plate and letting you off, I doubt it. It's like the police catching a burglar, and because it's a sexy female burglar with big tits, letting her off.
Ok ok I get it you don't have to keep telling me! tongue out
Ooops sorry, I dont know what happened there!

Haven't got one on my 599 or F50 and I won't put one on my next 458. Didnt have one on my last 458 either.
Got done by a copper on the GTO the other day, 60 quid fine and that was it. No big deal.
I'd try it on and see how you go. At the end of the day if you keep getting pulled then there is your answer. I'd then try either a sticker or the bent plate option. As for that being worse than no plate at all, I don't agree and think it depends on the individual policeman. I think it shows you have made an effort. Just act naive then, the police treat us all like we are idiots anyway do why not act like one.

Surely a number plate looks better than a load of sticky st plastered on the front of your car.

Professionally fitted sticker number plate looks good. Most F40s have a sticker front plate. Looks great.

Can't you just put it flat under the nose, so its almost flush with the underside of the car.

I'm thinking like an 85 degree angle.

Just a thought.
