Stick on front Number Plate?

I've got a normal plastic plate in the postion like your mock-up photgraph (see profile)
Give that a try before resorting to a stick on plate, these only look right on E-Types

just throwing in my 10 cents worth.

I've seen loads of Mazda MX-5's (old Mk1 pop up headlights style) in Glasgow with the stick on plates on the bonnet. I know they're old but not pre-1972 old!! I personally think they look crap but they must get away with it up here.

I saw one today on a Chimaera in Essex (A10 SCR or similar) if it's anyone on here I'm sorry no offence but it looks cheap, It may well help airflow but does nothing for the looks. IMO of course

Am I the only person who thinks that stick on plates look worse than normal ones?

I know normal ones aren't exactly subtle, but when they're removed they normally leave a flat blank space, similar in size to a number plate!

Whenever I see a car with a stick-on plate, the plate is the first thing I notice - I think it detracts from the car.

Just my opinion!

Not to mention the mess it would leave on the paintwork if you decided to remove it. Sun fading the paint might also leave a mark? It could also start looking tatty if it started peeling round the edges. Doesn't sound like I'm a fan really does it.....

I saw a Chim at Back Home last year who was quite inventive. It was an early Chim with a grill. He had removed the plate and instead painted his plate on!! Just masked an area on the grill the size of the plate and sprayed it white. Then masked out his reg on the white and sprayed that in black. All done very neatly and not likely to attract police attention at all. Perfect solution to cooling too. He could also argue that he would never lose his plate (unless had a complete front end mash).

I have a quite small plate on the front of my Griff (see Profile) and the only one that's moaned was the copper at Dover when I cam back from Le Mans last year at 3:30 in the morning! Needless to say I didn't take any notice.

A friend of mine did something similar with his caterham lowcost dragonfly thingy... inside the nosecone he'd got the letters in silver (plastic), stuck to the grill.. therefore providing silver letters on a black background.. no problems with plod..

right, you lot, since none of you like them, I'll bow to the majority view - I will take off my sticky and put the real one back on, this time below the grill.

this is a democracy, isn't it?
