No front number plate?

[Shinjuku79]

I see quite a high proportion of exotics that don't have a front number plate these days.

What's the legal position with these lambos, Ferraris, McLarens etc?

They can afford the odd fine they may recieve.

Interesting. Not sure if I want to do it myself

That looks great, I'd love it even more in Ford RS Dark Blue too! Pity it doesn't exist

It’s like driving round with your front fog lights on: illegal but “looks cool innit”.

Makes you look as though you can't park properly and keep hitting the garage wall.

They don’t screw the front plates in very well these days officer


I like the era of classics when they were painted on the bonnet

I regularly see a 1990s era Jaguar XK with a stick on plate on the bonnet. Used to see it on MX5 NAs. I guess it's illegal but on the right car it can look OK.

Wasn't this covered a few days / weeks / months ago ?

It’s only a £60 fine. Hardly a deterrent.

People often don’t put number plates on the front of their sports/supercars for the one simple reason that they look crap.

Why blight the front of your Ferrari with a big, ugly piece of plastic?

Completely legal if retro reflective and adheres to the font/sie/spacing requirements of the Display of Registration Marks regulations.

You still clicked onto the thread though.

It's ringing bells with me...

The suggestion then was a fine up to £1k.

i.e. not £60 as suggested here. Inconsistent? The internet? Shocking!

[Zombie]

Nope, I was wrong, the fine is £100 here;
