Bendy 0 Posted May 9, 2007 hi mate, all you need is a couple of L shape brackets, attatch to the bumper and then attatch your plate to the brackets!! simple. its what i did after gettin hassle from the :lcop: once too often. my front plate is still illegal as its a tiny 1 but they seem to have left me alone, cant run a full size plate as im too low!!

Bendy 0 Posted May 9, 2007 hey mate, cheers for the comments. cant remember where i got it from, when i get home i'll have a look for the details an post up my findings, having said that tho its just a standard motorbike size. so i would guess most places that do them may be able to do you 1 in white for the front.

bristolbaron 11 Posted May 9, 2007 you'll get beef from the law if you have your german plates on btw.......up here in Aberdeen several guys with the german plates are getting it in the neck and as well as having their plates confiscated they have been hit with £30 fines things seem to be a lot more relaxed around here.. ive run german plates for 18 months with no issues at all, even with police cars behind me! *awaits issues* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
