Self adhesive nose cone plate
Discussion
Hello,
new to the wonderful world of sevens but enjoying mine very much.
I have a self adhesive plate for the front on reflective background, proper font and spacing but reduced in length as I have a very short reg.
What is the MOT regulations here please as I have seen loads of sevens with such plates?. They certainly look good.
regards

As above really but this is the DVLA link:

They do say:
''The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is not aware of any self-adhesive number plates that meet the British Standard requirements.''

As for a normal front plate reducing front end lift, I seriously doubt it - the angle is just wrong for that.
It may not reduce lift but it certainly reduces drag. I found my Vmax with a front plate is better so I've always used one on track. Funnily enough, last week, following a wee accident in the garage, I went out without one and the Vmax was significantly down - maybe by as much as 5 mph.I put it down to it acting like an air-dam/splitter giving a cleaner airflow under the car. Similar to the CSR chin http://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_prod...

Spare plate in the boot. Oldest trick in the book. "it fell off, officer".
That's fine until the same local copper who stopped you last week sees it again "fallen off" and, being on a Seven, easily remembers the car......as has happened to many, many people.Can't see a "local" plod really bothering. Trouble seems to be ANPR where they can't recognise you. Just don't drive there again
I think that the legal/non legal plate issue arises when pulled or camera spotted doing things you perhaps shouldn't ,not trying to be holier than any one but I have run an illegal plate for ten years no probs even at 37 in a 30 ,didn't moan paid up and placed it in that file I never open

DCL - You don't run any data do you? In a race 1moh VMax is significant. 5 would be incredible!I put it down to it acting like an air-dam/splitter giving a cleaner airflow under the car. Similar to the CSR chin http://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_prod...

No offence, but that's horses
t. As you said, there are far too many variables to make that a valid comment, so why make it? I've spent an awful lot of time trying to find every tenth of a second possible out of 120bhp Caterhams, and I can assure you that a number plate is a *long* way down the list of things that make a difference.

Yup, taking a really big dump beforehand adds more to the "Veeeeeemax".....grrrrrr.......racing driver talk.
