Right then guys and girls I‘m in abit of a predicament atm as to whether or not remove my front no. Plate all together. I have had the front no. Plate relocated to the n/s and it‘s all good albeit a lil flimsy. But after seeing a mclaren today without a front no. Plate next to one with, the one without looked so much better. Also I have seen some 5‘s without and if they could ever be any better looking it‘s without a front no. Plate. Just after abit of convincing or not and seeing what other owners have done with theirs. So fire away.

I don‘t see the issue here, in the uk you legally have to display a front number plate unless you want to get a reputation with the police, constantly pulled over and fined £100 a time (I believe the fine is).Parry said:
If you don‘t like the oem one then get the bumper smoothed and run a sticky plate (risking the above again) or just relocate a normal one and be safe.
I run a beat rush plate re locator on the road and it looks like this
Two bolts and less than 2 mins later for show and track days it looks like this
Personally I think it‘s a silly idea to not run a front plate just because it looks better as your constantly at risk of fines or if caught in end time again maybe worse...

I use to run no plate for a while but was pulled over for it and hit with a £100 fine,
So I no run a small stick on plate have been on the car over a year now and never had any issues with it, prefer it now with the smaller plate then no plate
The plates can also be bought on here also

I will be selling the smallest legally allowed plates in the next few weeks once I get a prototype finalised (next week)
Website is currently in development but it is:-
Https://www.jdmplates.co.uk
I will get prices finalised etc in the near future but I will obviously give discount to forum members.
My plates will have all the legal marking and I will even supply paperwork to prove they are legal (for if you ever get stopped)

I've been running with one of Wocka's stick on plates for about 2 months now, really makes a great difference to the look of the car as opposed to a big chunk of plastic with rusty nuts!
They are pretty much a similar size to a regular plate, reflective material and seem to fit the DC5 bumper perfectly. Think this is the best balance between aesthetics and polis concerns, no issues as yet.
I asked an MOT guy what he thought about this, seems a bit of a grey area, but advised to keep a 'real' plate in the boot, then if I get pulled, 'I changed it as soon as I drove away from the garage!' (good arse covering). Think the feds have bigger fish to fry these days.

Good to hear some feedback mate, I actually spoke to a lad the other day that has one of my plates and turns out it could be 3/4 years old now, still has the spares that come in the set. I once got told my plates are 0.5mm too short on the letter heightTeggs said:

I can understand this to a certain extent but for private plates I think a rectangle plate looks best and these only look good on the sides of the bumper. That‘s my own opinion though!Cam said:
