what do people do when their baby goes in for an service with an illegal plate to a small garage? do you have legal plates in the boot and show them? do they even care? do you tell them before it goes in?
i mean service, i had the MOT done before i got the plate
The garage wouldnt care for a service, not to sure they would care on a mot, butb they definetly arent going to give a toss about that on a service...
The service just looks after your car mechanically, they then tell you the problems that need sorting but dont have to do it... number plates are low on there priority i would say.
If they are illegal then its the coppers that are going to have you anyway, at the end of the day it depends what were talking about - some of the plates with fancy fonts and stuff look cack anyway and the police spot them a mile off, but dodgy spacing and that doesnt seem to bother them that much anymore...
Number plates are to identify the car so as long as they are legible and clear i dont think your going to have to much hassle.
If they are italic and squirly chuck them out and get http://www.GTgrafix.comwww.GTgrafix.com to sort you some decent legal ones so you dont look like a tool....

thats mine and have had no probs fom police
(showed wrong i kno)
The only issue i can think off which might happen is it makes your car illegal so they might not test drive it after any work.
i had this problem with a garage about a yr ago. On my car i had a illegal tyre. It was where the tracking was out. When the car needed work they fixed the problem and refused to test drive it afterwards as it is illegal and without there test drive they dont give a garantee and so i ended up having to buy a cheapo tyre just to fit for them to test drive. Bit of a Con i reckon but i had no choice.
I dont think most garages would be bothered at all. Think it was just Lex were pissed off with me as we had a disagrement and Trading Standards got involved so i think they wanted to be asss about everything.
ok, cheers.
police r great bout it actually, usually they have a luk 2 c wot it says and drive on-lol, fingers x
If you think about it your plate is easier to spot than mine, or the next car, so in theory they dont mind, but at the same time cameras etc will struggle to work it out and that will upset the police...
I see cars everyday with dodgy plates and they never seem to change back, theres a porche round her with DODGY (i think its D8 DGY ) but the plate is basically just all letters, been around ages so cant suffer that much from the police.
I used to work for a company selling personal plates and haldf what we sold made bugger all sense unless you miss spaced it
true. im 2 careful for cameras is all i gota say. even the temporary ones i kno where they r etc in my area. i saw D4DDY on a ferrari 355 the ova day, the dogs danglies it was
V6 OOOH
