Securing number plate in front window.

[Joshy]

I know some of you guys will be against this, but i know some of you run with a plate in the window.
I'm wanting my plate to sit like this:





I will be moving the tax disc up, dont worry! At the moment the plate is just kinda sat there, and when i drive it falls down and isn't visible. Can anyone recommend something that i could buy to get the plate to sit like this? I was thinking sticky pads. but i don't want them to be obvious.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply! I think those may be a little big for my liking unfortunately. Having a look at the clear sticky pads used on tax discs. Might get a set of them

No tax disc will be issued post October 2014 when you next renew your car tax as per the new regulations.

I want a smooth grille and i dont really want a plate there. I could tie wrap it to the bottom grille but i really dont like that look, hence the window :)

You will get fined for the plate being in the window and it's gone up to £100 now!
The law is front plate has to be fitted in front of the A pilar! Which is In front of the windscreen.
I don't want to be a fun killer but just saying as it may save you a fine or two.
My mate ran his in his window and received two fines of £100 each so not worth the risk I think.

Glue dots from any crafts shop will do the trick.

Used them for an old tax disc holder and it worked fine.

might aswell just remove it completly putting it in the window just makes it look like its fell off and you have put it there for the time being

Running a plate in the window is illegal, I know it looks better, but it is an offence, plain and simple.
Your plate is there for recognition of ANPR machines, dotted around everywhere. If it is in your front windscreen then it may not be picked up by the readers due to the glare from the windscreen, and if your car is stolen, then police won't be able to track it.

Everyone on here prefers the smooth grille, but the law is the law, run the plate with suckers on as I did for years, and then when you want to take a photo, just pull the plate off and then restick it moments later, you won't be seeing that the front doesn't look as good when in the car anyway.

What about the rear.?

Mine fell off and is currently in the window until I clean the car and reapply... I'm sure it's legal as it's a hatchback and the window is also the most rear part of the car like the bumper...

I personally think that if you are choosing to run a plate in the window anyway of which no doubt you will eventually get pulled over and fined bla bla bla  you may aswell run a tiny plate on the front grill. Looks loads better & its no less illegal than what you are doing anyway 

[Joshy]

I know what you're all saying :)
At the moment the plate is back on the front grille as I'm decided if I should buy a smooth one, or smooth my own ect.

Once I've done that I'll decided if I want to tie wrap it to the bottom grill, or just have it somewhere else ect.

Putting it anywhere else will look poo especially in front the intercooler! Just remove it completely or put a small one on if you really gotta do it lol
