Number plate location (I like to be different)
« on: January 28, 2011, 10:54:37 am »
I need your help/photos guys & girls.

Just got my car back from the bodyshop and don't want to spoil the look by putting the number plate in the normal place.

Can anyone recommend a new spot for it or post some pics of your cars with it in a non-standard but legalish place.

My thoughts at the mo are to get a 300mm one (same as I had on my Leon) and put it as low as possible.

That will do a nice job of blocking air flow to the intercooler. Looks rank too in my opinion.

Original number plate location is best.

Looks like a Baby's single front tooth..

Best Place take it off for shows etc, or normal position.

Dont run the risk of without or behind the windscreen which will be a beacon for you to get stopped. :happy2:

I just always take a legal standpoint on these things, (for some reason)
Also don't forget that number plates are primarily for identification, if it were to get stolen then  ANPR readers on Motorways would not pick up the plates in order to help establish a direction of travel. :smiley:

K6kny. Having been left speechless by seeing your car around Glasgow, IMHO it rocks! rarely have a seen a better GTI. And for the record guys it's certainly NOT pink!

EDIT: Sorry just realised I didnt contribute anything to the number plate location debate.....LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS LEGAL, especially if you are anywhere near Strathclyde, the rozzers up here would book you for picking your nose whilst driving, especially now they are trying to justify their own existence in the face of financial cut backs, do yourself a favour give them NO reason for pulling you over.
