Front Number Plate - Or Not?
Discussion
The law says you have to have one, as does any MOT test that you'll put the car through in future.
If the police stop you, you could tell them it keeps falling off and so you're trying to find a better way of securing it. They might let you off with that, but it doesn't change the law and they'd be within their rights to give you a fine.
With a normal plate attached, there is a potential issue with the parking sensors picking up the plate, so often a stick-on plate is a better option. It actually looks better too. There are apparently legality issues with stick-on plates too; when I bought mine, I had to purchase them as 'show plates'.

Never you mind said:
No front plate on mine. No problems from plod. MOT no problems. But I do hear of some people getting pulled and a fine.
I got booked with a £100 fixed penalty notice a few months ago when Robocop pulled me over in my GT3..He also cautioned me that a repeat offence is a £1K fine and even court appearance..Bunty Killa said:
What reason did you give?
I just played stupid but obviously not very convincing..It depends on whether or not you get stopped by the Keystone cops or sadly in my case Robocop..!Taffy66 said:

I drove about with no plate for a month after getting my car.
Had zero interaction with any of the police I encountered beyond one officer winding down his window to say how much he loved the car.
However, I've had the plate put on the front. It just felt strange not having it.
I actually prefer the car with a plate.

Not from my recent personal experience..!
a 911 isn't a supercar though is it, i would imagine over 99% of regular 911s have a plate,which singles you out as an exception as most people can't tell the different between a GT3 or Carrera. A McLaren, Ferrari or Lambo is a different proposition IMOGassing Station | McLaren | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
