Moving the front number plate
Top Cat:
Please excuse this thread looking messy i have just split and moved a topic into here.
This is quite interesting finding a better place for it to be positioned.

....
This is the current legislation : -

The numberplate mount on the GTI is pointless (and extra weight!!). I noticed that Ed has removed it on his APS Ed30 and I plan to do the same. I shall raise it just a fraction so that it doesn't overlap the lower honeycombe grill and therefore doesn't look like such an afterthought.
The scary thing is that the DVLA are conducting tests for electronic tagging!
Be warned that the Police and DVLA are becoming increasingly draconian in applying the rules about number plates - Mostly because of the benefits of ANPR systems.

OK cant figure out how to move from the recycle bin to here so all those posts concerning this topic are locked away so lets just start again sorry Chris.
You say you have moved the plate to the lower front side below the light is it strictly legal
The wheel man:
Interesting topic. That link could be interpreted in some different ways IE A number plate must be displayed at the front and rear of motor vehicles So could be anywhere on the front?
Thinking about where Joesgti has his, positioned inside the windscreen....

....The DVLA web site is horrific to find anything specific but I'm sure I have previously read legislation which states quite clearly and specifically how the front plate must be positioned, and it's definitely not how Joe has it except in emergency as a temporary measure. I have great difficulty believing how he hasn't been stopped so far.
