Front number plate deleters - are you one?

How did we go from people not fitting number plates to cars that clearly have a mounting point for them to nonsense about the precise standards for plate manufacture and Your Mum arguments?

I dunno.

What's rather amusing for one of the posters calling cars "chav" and quoting chapter and verse about number plate regs has a build thread showing an illegally modified VW...

I'd suggest you save your hankies for av, after recenty coming out he'll need all the hugs he can get

What do you drive btw, do you also have a non standard plate?

He and seem to rile you up, by NOT doing what you say, and I so enjoy watching some self important tt get put in his place.

You and the others seem overly friendly. You obviously share a few too many ,secrets.. ;D

Got to love the way Yonex and a few others in the minority believe anything 'non standard' must therefore unequivocably be illegal.

In their distinctly grey and boring world presumably any car colours other than black grey or silver must also therefore be illegal.

I believe Phillistines is the appropriate description.

You truly couldn't make it up.

Agreed, you couldn't. One of the most arrogant bell ends on the forum, so happy to roll out insult after insult over number plates, his general wealth, in fact, most everything, gets found out for not having a number plate adhering to his oh so high standards.

Hypocrite. As I said all along.

1. What exactly does that achieve?
2. What's going to change?

I don't understand the question.

The post you replied to wasn't intended to achieve or change anything, why would it?

I see what you mean. The poster seemed to be pointlessly wasting a lot of time forming negative judgments and having negative thoughts about things he couldn't affect in any way. I was questioning whether he had thought about that. I should probably have just said "stop wasting your time".

That's a fair point, but the thread's about people without front plates, and that's my opinion on them thanks to the type of car/driver I've come to associate it with.

If it were all beautiful sports/supercars being driven responsibly, I'd probably not have not such a negative opinion.

But knobheadery is what I see, so knobheadery is what I think.

As for time wasting, well, I think the last couple of pages of the thread shows I'm maybe not that bad.

I agree with this. In my experience most cars without front plates are being driven badly by knobs...

No st.

For a moron, you seem to know an awful lot about my plate.

Especially considering I haven't even posted a full picture of it.

And yet you know for a fact it is illegal.

Have you considered a career in the Police?

So what's the number then Sherlock?

To be fair you completely miss the context here.

Mandalore has a problem with me. So he gets my bad jokes.

Av spent some 10 pages calling everyone and anything a chav and being generally vile.

Now it turns out he also has an illegal number plate which is quite funny :-)
Not sure what you care for a car I haven't owned for 5 years , though. I never claim for everything to be legal. Infact I quite regularly do illegal things.

To be legal the plate MUST display bsau mark and manufacturers postcode. No stick on plate does this even though it may be "made to meet" the regulations. Under the rule of law ....which I know you like to call on as per the other number plate thread........ means your stick on plate is illegal.

Go take a photo of this on your stick on plates (front one specifically) and if it has the bsau mark and postcode , I'll stick 10 quid to the air ambulance with proof , and post up a photo of my plates in return.

If you don't, you put 10 quid in air ambulance
How about that.

[Julian Thompson]

I make number plates every single day. I have never seen a stick on plate that complies to the British standard.

There are so many points that a plate has to pass on before it can display the BSAU145D mark and therefore be a legal plate.

Retroreflection test, colourimetric test, resistance to bending, impact, solvents, corrosion, weathering, thermal resistance and the effect of dirt test.

It really isn’t just a question of the plate being the right size - I would be absolutely amazed if that stick on plate was actually technically legal regardless of who supplied it. In fact I would be interested to learn what make it is so that I can contact them and see about offering them for sale in my shop!

Yep I agree it would be funny if not hilarious but only if it was true.

Are you still preparing for custard?

See my previous post . 10 quid come on.
No bsau mark . No post code. Illegal chavplate for a chav

Otherwise you'd take up my small wager.

You know, I don't see why they couldn't comply? After all, the reflective bit of the plate is a thin plastic film on the rear side of the clear plastic part of the laminate that makes up a plate, yes?

So a similar thing with a very thin, flexible clear front over it should be able to do the job while still conforming to the bodywork.

Not that fussed myself. If it looks like a plate and it's legible/not massively fked about with for spacing etc, whether it meets the precise letter of the law doesn't strike me as making much odds in real terms.
