Black and white/silver reg plate

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Ellopeeps.

Tempted to get one of the aforementioned for Enf. I know it's illegal for anything newer than 1975 (or thereabouts, £1000 fine, blah blah blah), but I imagine it takes a particularly cuntish breed of arsehole copper to pull you over just for that - you'd have to be doing something else to bring yourself to their attention.

Has anyone ever been tugged for it, or known someone to be?

£1000 fine, is it not a standard £100?

Buy a registration number older than 1975 for your bike then get a black and white plate made up.

Those plates tell people that you're a drug dealer so you can expect to be stopped by people wanting to buy from you and by the police wanting to arrest you.

There used to be a fleet of fairly new delivery vans local to me that had old liveries, and black/silver number plates to go with the old look

Pretty sure they didn't change the number plates back for the MOT, but who knows...

I don't think they'd stop you specifically for it, but might add it to the list, if they stopped you for something else

They have nicked a couple for that kind of plate recently (according to twitter) in the Derby area.

Having said that my friend noticed this morning that the number plates on the car she's had for nearly two years don't match the V5! Even worse its actually a non existent number so surely must have flagged up on their real time anpr that they keep telling us all about?

People who commit trivial motoring offences such as iffy plates are often up more serious stuff, so it's a red rag to the police. It's more hassle than it's worth.

To me, there's a difference in making your number plate look like it reads something else by spacing/adding coloured screw caps, and clearly displaying your reg number (complete with with correct spacing), just on an old style number plate

But, either way, you always run the risk. Just like speeding...

Hitchcocks will do you a 1950s or 60's frame. They have a job lot of NOS ones too which can be dated and registered.

Spend a fun weekend swapping all the bits over and you've got yourself an historic vehicle.

I am chastised. Not that the details hugely matter since Dibble won't know them, and what we're discussing isn't legal anyway.

I wanted them on my lml but would look daft on a gold and black bike

and you cant get black and gold plates

but my mate has them on his mk2 escort and it goes through the mot every time without problems and has never been stopped for them
