3/4 Front plate

[chrisj]

Mine came today and it's going on tomorrow along with some anthracite 182 wheels that i bought this week. I was just wondering does anyone get much interest from the police with these plates?

 

[Dyewitness]

really dont like these to be honest

 

[Rossy197]

Agreed i dont see the big fuss

From what i've read on here they do bring a lot of attention from the popo and usually get fines / points or generally told to remove it..

Just carry a family size tub of vaseline in the glove box and im sure you'll be fine

 

[Lee-182]

where you get them from?

 

[Jamie]

172ben has one and his looks quite good actually.

 

[chrisj]

where you get them from?

I got it from fancy plates using the guide on here. I think they look alot nicer. tidys the front end up

 

[Lee-182]

I might get some i think can you pay by pay pal?

[Lee-182]

Awesome Im gona get this, just need to measure it tomorrow fisrt just to see if ti covers the old screw holes.

 

[yellowbelly]

my mate used to have one on his until he had some nonse clip his front end and ripped it off, prior to his ownership the previous owner had it on for well over 2 years.
My girlfriend has had her's on for about a year now and i've also got one.

Now either the police are lazy around my neck of the woods or they aren't fussed about them in general.

tbh you might as well have one but just keep your full size in the boot if they ever pull you, just say you've been to a 'Meet' and totally forgot to remove it "very sorry officer" lol

 

[Lee-182]

Oppps didnt read properly

Ha, can't wait to put mine on tomorrow. should look alot nicer. will put some pics on once i've done it.

 

[172Ben]

Its illegal, but ive not had any problems.

But if you get caught, just expect to take the fine etc.

 

[yellowbelly]

3/4's don't cover the old screw holes btw

Gay :dapprove:

 

[Lee-182]

They must cover the holes their the same lenght 520mm

 

[Curtis!]

Use velcro and have a normal sized plate in the boot with the same sex ends attached IMO, cleans the plate up and is easily removed and changed.

 

[chrisj]

I just went outside and checked mine. It should cover the holes from what i can see. Don't know where the holes are exactly but i think it should cover them

I've just got one delivered today too ... however by using Velcro, surely it's easy to rip off / steal?

Anyone got before and afters for direct comparison?

I think people are getting confused between the 3/4 plates and the 1/2 size plates:

3/4

1/2

 

[Greeny.]

I got pulled so much for the 1/2 plate so took it off as it wasnt worth the hassle, touch wood the 3/4 has been fine. Will try it through the MOT as but will have to see

It will fail mate. Bosh the old one back on for the MOT, your plates on velcro?

 

[Lee-182]

1/2 plate looks sill i think

I want 3/4, wish they took paypal

No, there are 1 million old sticky pads behind my current plate, I really need to clean them off and start again, arse of a job though

Yeah getting those sticky pads off is such a ball ache. You can get the little velcro pads from halfords

Yes I will be doing that this time so I dont have the ball ache next year

 

[JT182]

Just been fined £60 for mine! :dapprove:
Had a 3/4 on the Trophy for about 18 months without any attention really, put one on the R26 last week and have been done for it already! What's the score with driving about with the number plate in the windscreen by the way? Seen a few people on here who do it, 'Keano' I think is one of them? I saw an EK9 driving without a plate about five seconds before the police pulled me for my 3/4 earlier, is it still illegal to do it or?

 

[jenic]

Thats bad news mate ^^^^

Especially since you live local to me, made up my mind that i'm not going to bother

 

[Lee-182]

just about to order mine, Looking at the guide and by searching on here no one has a border with a UK at the beginning is this ok to have on a 3/4? As i dont like just the reg number looks to plain.

 

[Lee-182]

Will this be ok for a 3/4?

 

[Jat_172cup]

ordered one saturday should be here today!

 

[Lee-182]

did you have a border like above?

 

[Reyes]

3/4 ftw

 

[Jat_172cup]

did you have a border like above?

no mate had it all plain, only ordered the front 1 aswell, so it only come to like 16notes lol

 

[Lee-182]

Just ordered mine with a Border, same as above. Hope it dont make the writing to small.
