I've not run plates on my car or can for a year now. Never any hassle.

Brave dude.

I went down the magnet route, but they have scratched the grille in the year that they've been fitted.

Currently looking at my options for my next US grille...

not really. you cant get points unless its repeated offence and they prove your doing it to avoid speeding fines.

otherwise its just a £30 fixed fine.

Ive seen someone using suckers before and that worked well.

I run my car with the suckers on the back of the plate, works fine.
Also, I would not advise people to run their car without the plates on the front, firstly because it is illegal, and secondly, because your number plate is there for identification purposes. If your car was stolen, ANPR would not be able to ping it if the thief used the motorways.

I also find that when I see cars without the numberplate on the front that I think how chavvy it seems, that the owner prefers looks over function.
Plates off at shows, and for photoshoots then fine, otherwise,  :fighting:

(sorry to hijack your thread) (Also hate people referring to police as 5-0 )

First run. No map changes. Just pre cat delete.

244bhp 293lbft.

Up 10bhp and 10lbft

Second run. Slight map changes

242bhp 299lbft
yes the bhp dropped at peak but its higher through the midrange as is torque.

....ANPR is now used on roads other than just motorways  :happy2:

Once I've had my paintwork done and the gril painted and smoothed I'll probably re fit it with sticky pads direct to the black section rather than the big ugly number plate holder
