French plates

[Christophe]

is it possible to have french plates on to your car as i've seen people who have german ones.

 

[makavelli]

do a search fella, loads of people on cliosport have french plates, they are the new turinis

 

[Renault_Boy01]

^^lol...but totally illegal

 

[Christophe]

so how do people get away with it if illegal. or do they just use them for shows.

 

[xcore]

People don't get away with them, some on here have been fined.

You'll get pulled at the first sign of a pissed off tired cop who spots them

I have french plates, but i carry my spares in the boot in case i do get pulled, in which case i will switch the plates there and then. The people i know havent been pulled once about it

 

[Sarah]

i have them not been pulled yet

Not so far in the time since FCS, about 3 or 4k in that time including having 1 behind me. Still if I do get pulled I wont winge about it, will just swap them back, does look good though!

I'm thinking of getting some, but not with the French EU crest, just std plate, they are reflective , and if you don't have illegal spacing , you would be unlucky to get a pull! imo

ZZ54 ZZZ legal spacing
ZZ 54 ZZZ illegal spacing

The second one does look better !

Does anyone know where to get the black number plate frames with a French dealer address on it?

 

[cat171]

I'd be interested in that too, I tried ebay but no joy. I searched the whole of ebay too, not just the uk.

 

[Djw John]

Im sure europl8 where i got mine do them, thought about it but decided not to

only german surrounds, no french there.

 

[Renault_Boy01]

are frenchstyle font pressed plates (ie. not reflective) with standard spacing and no french crest like foxys legal

 

[Djw John]

No due to non legal font and non reflective surface. Also meant to have the name and postcode of who made it printed on it!

 

[cat171]

This ought to be made a sticky as it gets asked about twice a week.

As said it's the font that will be illigal, but the plate's from , Plateman, and French number plate's are reflective , or so they have told me in emails!

How can metal pressed plates (as the french style ones and german style ones are) be reflective ?
