Jap Vs UK number plate

Hey everyone,

 

I've just had a new lip fitted recently and I'm thinking of putting a UK plate on the front of my Supra, but I can't make up my mind if wither the Jap or UK plate looks best. I think if I cleaned the front bumper it looks best without a plate, but obviously I need a plate on my car :(

 

So what do people think, UK or Jap plate?

 

Thanks :)

Have you got a short number or a full 7 digit number?

 

My car has 5 digits, so could always get a smaller plate as it's so short.

 

I would like it without the plate, but knowing my luck I will get caught by the Police straight away :( My problem with the import size is I always think it looks like a rabbit from the front (2 eyes and big bucky teeth) :D

Wouldn't run the risk without a plate, it is such a serious crime nowadays you will get hassle:rolleyes:

 

What about a cut down UK plate? As long as you have 11mm of reflective backing at either side you will be ok iirc.

Like so:

A plate like yours was also an option that I was thinking of but wasn't sure if that was illegal too.

Serious crime, its not even an MOT fail, yes you are required to display a number plate but hardly a serious crime, like I said I have not had a front plate for two years, never pulled for it (will get pulled tomorrow now : ) )

The only time i had bother was when i had the plates made with no gap between the '8' and 'M'.

Never had any bother since i got them gapped correctly (well sort of :eyebrows:) The traffic cops have even stopped to look at the car and talk to me about it one evening i was parked up and they didn't batter an eyelid at the plates.

It is hard to get sarcasm across on the net at times.:D

Love the Jap front plate [GRIN][/GRIN]

 

Your the first person to say that :D

 

At the moment I think I'll be fitting my UK plate till I get somthing maybe a little smaller. I have got a 12x3 plate but that will draw attention as it's blatantly too small. But I wonder if I'd get away with it while on the Dragonball in France? :D
