tomtaylor1 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) HI All, is it legal to place the front registration number on the left or right of the front the car, I need more air flow through the radiators. I have seen cars with this configuration, but was informed maybe not allowed. Thank you. Regards Tom Edited October 26, 2016 by metisdead ALL CAPS removed from topic title.

JaseTheBass Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The Mitsubishi Lancer often has the plate to the nearside so it seems there's no problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Ive run no front plate and a concealed front plate (behind the grille). both were frowned upon but now run an offset plate (under the left head light) and that has been of no concern to date.

JAS21 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi Tom Is this overheating on your Caribian ... did you get the engine re-built or find a 2nd hand one? ... or chuck it in the ditch and buy something else ... just interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) I put a front bar on for 5 auxiliary lights & it partially obscured part of the plate but could be seen if standing 20-30 feet away.... There was a 400b fine going through the next road check..... + the laughing I told you so from the wife when I got home.... We're on the road every day so I watched for placement on vehicles & left - right - high & low seemed to make no difference as long as visible.....Seems to be no hard line standards like there are in the states....

Wiggy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've seen them on the left (passenger) side on Alfa Romeos here as the centre is not an option due to the V shaped grille, so can't see it being an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Was once told that even in the UK the front plate on my old e-type was not strictly legal because it was not on a vertical surface. Not too many E's here so would be interesting to know how the BIB would look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Just a personal opinion, but depending on the model of my ride, if a front plate looked too daft, I'd just take the occasional checkpoint fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
