This thread is worthless without pics. Laughing

Is it held on with some sort of string or twine?

Anyway yeah you'll get a 30 quid fine. If you explain the situation to the copper and say it's your only transport he may be leaniant with you.

Yellow background, Black letters
Characters Size
Height 64mm Width 44mm Stroke 10mm
Side margin 10mm Top & bottom margin 10mm
Space between characters 10mm Space between groups 30mm

Should be as simple as that, sadly though you are probably not compliant with BSAU145d.

Road Legal number plates must have the makers RNPS number, supplying outlet name and postcode and British Standard number on the bottom of the plate.

just get a "show plate" off ebay,

mines a 8x6 so it looks close enough to legal but fits the size of the rear end a lot better. obviously they dont come with bsu marks etc but i cant imagine any police officer is going to be that strict. it still has legal font and everything and probably costs half the price of an official one

Oh, and tell el plod. I had them phone me up saying my car had driven off from a petrol station after failing to pay at 3am, then I nipped outside and saw some scrote had swiped my front plate.

Evil or Very Mad

Reported it as a theft, so no further issues if it was used by some scumbag for something nefarious...

As with all such laws Grandfather rights apply...

Which is why my Q plate has a slogan.
