classic black/silver plates

[DazBav]

seen a thread yeterday about black and silver plates so thought i would show mine,and yes i know they are illegal but so are most things these days and touch wood have seen a few police but not been pulled,guess they can't be bothered.
so what do ya think?

looks good mate, just talking about this tonight with mates but pc plod puts me off :dapprove:
I'm sorely tempted...hmmm...

*edit* where did you get black screw covers from?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Looks good mate , something a bit different from the norm . Probably just a matter of time though before plod decides otherwise

 

[cat171]

I'm not keen on them tbh.
I prefer the german looking plates that some on here have.

 

[DazBav]

my cousin is married to a traffic officer and he informs me it's a £30 fine if they can be bothered, and very worse case scenario dvla can seize your registration but you can just apply for a personal plate. most plates with football crests and car logos on are illegal too.

local diy shop but then seen homebase do a pack of 10 for about £1.50 bargain!

i bet 90% of plates on the street today are illegal, it's purely down to plod discretion... Mine is illegal due to spacings but had no problems so far. Just hate the yellow/white plates on a red clio with dark wheels and dark tints...

*edit* cheers mate! ^^

[recaro182]

They look to dogs danglies mate, might be putting in an order myself

 

[Rich]

Look good on Black Gold, used to have them on my old GTi just for shows, but you will eventually get hassle with them.

 

[makavelli]

look good but would look better and a lot more stealth without the stripes

 

[stoddie]

cracking mate!

[jayxx83]

i remember now it was your thread that i read so best get yours ordered and i will be at FCS as only 20 min away so would be rude not too.

 

[Tigger]

Can we all stay at your place then? :clown:

 

[clio__chris]

dont like them at all personally
your car isnt a classic........ yet!

 

[DazBav]

Can we all stay at your place then? :clown:

dont think we would all fit although it would look good outside with all clio's as my girlfriend has a racing blue 182 cup with stripes (yeah i know his & hers haha):clown:

 

[Iain C]

love em!

 

[Tigger]

Are these plates legal at all ?

 

[Rich]

Are these plates legal at all ?

Not unless your car was registred before 1970 something. I didnt risk mine on the road, only for shows.

 

[DazBav]

Are these plates legal at all ?

no mate but not much is these days check the dvla website,3d letters,honeycomb background,football team crests,car logos all illegal now,apart from your digits you can only have the eu flag or your countrys flag

 

[Tigger]

Ok cool - would carrying the std plates in the car help matters at all ?

 

[DazBav]

worth a try,i keep mine in the boot so could always say i have been to a meet or show and forgot to swap back should i get pulled,nothing to lose by trying!:S

 

[Middo]

just make you look more guilty if you had them in the car, but you could argue you'd been to a show and not had time to change them.

edit: i always get beaten to a response :clown:

 

[id_doug]

I think you would have to get a fairly board cop to ticket you, unless they are training new recruits.

I know two cops that have incorrect spaced number plates! Which kinda makes you think its not that important on there list of things to do.

Personally I think that as long as they are clear and you can easily read them then you will probably be ok (no italics and rubbish like that). But dont quote me on that :S

 

[id_doug]

Oh yeah, nearly forgot....

I personally like the black / silver plates, look kinda cool.

Not sure about the strips though. Was thinking about something similar, but not sure now though.

went for the stripes as had them on blue cup and thought it looked a bit more agressive in someones mirror,are good in reality although not really happy how they did the boot as its not same positioning as the official stripes

 

[blue nose]

i had fast as fu*k on the back of my number plate for 12 months and every copper who pulled up behind me if they spotted it would just laugh, but i changed my plates and had it removed because im all grown up now,,,lol

 

[blue nose]
