Nothing wrong with my eyes. It’s no better than all the modified ones which you criticise. How amusing. Your eyesight needs checking.

So what you are saying is an illegally butchered Chavplate with mispaced and illegible letters and numbers, specifically allocated screws and bolts to bastardise characters is exactly the same as my legal dealer fitted number plate.
Riiight.

Ah yes a photo of a white gen 1 GT3 with a mounted German plate. How irrelevant.

I must say AV, I'm not sure why you'd have a stick on plate like that when you could easily have a traditional plate on a mount like the image above.So what you are saying is an illegally butchered Chavplate with mispaced and illegible letters and numbers, specifically allocated screws and bolts to bastardise characters is exactly the same as my legal dealer fitted number plate.

Must be a vanity or aspirational thing I guess
It's a numberplate after all.Closet chav

OK, so what makes his plate an issue compared to that?
That car could also, for example, use a shorter plate because of the shorter reg number. Personally I think they look odd... but not illegal.
The issue is he’s always moaning about others, but clearly has chosen a modified plate to suit his needs.That car could also, for example, use a shorter plate because of the shorter reg number. Personally I think they look odd... but not illegal.
Plenty of GT3’s running very standard plates. Have a quick search on the OPC’s
Hypocrite and by his own definition, many things

Was party to an altercation between the driver of a white A4 with front plate in screen, and local shell filling station staff.
Filling station was refusing to enable the pump as CCTV couldn’t see a plate. Audi man turned car around so it could see rear, filling station staff still refused to enable it, presumably due to attitude of driver! Lots of arguing ensued, Audi driver insisted that front plates not required by law like motorbikes blah blah. Most amusing.
Audi man ended up driving off to (presumably) fuel up at the next petrol station, having wasted 15 minutes arguing the toss with someone who had no interest in being reasonable to someone who had been abusive and unpleasant towards them.

Not sure if worse, but saw a white M3/M4 behind me a couple days ago with a heavily tinted front plate. Ruined the whole car tbh. A normal white plate would have actually been more discreet. The tinted plate just looked like a normal one, but very dirty. Amplified by the fact the car was white and pristinely clean.

I've seen a few cars lately with motorcycle size number plates. Does that count here?
Depends on the vehicle, if it's an import from a country where the vehicle was not originally designed to have a front number plant then yes you can use a plate with motorcycle sized text. I had such a plate on the front of my Supra and never had a problem, I did have the paragraph from the DVLA printed in the glove box just in case.

Pray how can my plate possibly be 'modified'
seeing as it was fitted as an original plate by the official Porsche dealer who supplied me with the car new only last year?Sounds like more than your eyesight needs testing.
You need to read the number plate regs.

Does it have the bsau mark displayed and manufacturers post code?
I saw a Cayman today with the oddest plate position choice. It was a smaller, shortened plate (short private plate). Normal flat perspex. However, it was mounted on the N/S upper bumper (a surface curved on two axes). It therefore was asymmetrically positioned and stood proud at each of it's four corners.
It looked awful. I have no idea why anyone would have thought it was a good idea.

What's normal?Does it have the bsau mark displayed and manufacturers post code?
It's legal.
As supplied by the official Porsche dealer which has to comply with number plate regs on all cars supplied by them.
To play the game though, does it have the BS AU 145d markings and is the manufacturer's postcode that of the supplying dealer?
Edited to say: beautiful car btw.

• The name and postcode of the supplying outlet
• The British Standard number (currently BS AU 145d)
• The name or trade mark of the manufacturer or component supplier
…of your front stick-on numberplate.
Otherwise I am going to go back and laugh hysterically at all your past posts one-by-one. You big ol' chav you
– Also edited to say that car is gorgeous.
I took mine off when it got detailed, left it off for two days. Actually really liked it without a plate, as there isn't a flush blank space on my front bumper due to the 'sharp' design of it.
I realised I looked a bit of a moron in the office car park when I had people coming to my office to tell me my plate had fallen off, or asking me where it was... i was sick of explaining why it was off so its back on now albeit a shorter length plate.
In my opinion a lot of cars look great without a plate. I do find it incredibly annoying that its sometimes in the windscreen - id rather just leave it off the the front of the car altogether!
