Title: Sticky Front Numberplates
Post by: MikeLMR on January 27, 2003, 08:24:36 PM
Where can I buy one of these (preferably pre printed)

please note I know these are not road legal and you can be assured it will only be used off road :rolleyes:

as long as its visable and the correct font and colour I can\'t see any body kicking up a fuss about one, hence why I\'m thinking of fitting one, but they are technically ilegal as they don\'t have the correct BS markings :mad::mad:

don\'t know what other choices I\'ve got really, the standard position mounting on the 1st gen is the biggest POS ever in my opinion

So SPANK ME!!! *grin*

Actually I did get stuck in a traffic jam a while back, and crept past a traffic car that HAD to have seen I was plateless.  I awaited the inevitable bee-baa-bee-baa, and ntohing happened.  

I was a bit disappointed by that, and I was going to stop and cajole them into having a look, but I thought "if they can\'t be arsed to do me, then neither can I..."

Given my 0 - 60 at trax, they could have wandered up next to me and sauntered at my wilting acceleration (I thought I\'d better own up before anyone slaughtered me!!)

And yep, a volvo.  Daily driver.

Well, it still seemed quick compared to the volvo...

Next year I\'ve already sorted out one of them steam powered launcher thingy\'s to throw me up the track.  0 - 60 in about 0.2 secs.  (length of time it usually takes me to break an engine...)

I got mine at Tennant Plastics in Nottingham. Unfortunately they don\'t do mail order and are only open on weekdays. Cost around £8. They can do anything on a sticky that they do on a normal plate tho - badges and stuff.

They\'re not legal in theory, but I can\'t see anyone stopping you as long as the font/spacing would normally be ok on a proper plate.

theres graphics companys littered about anywhere that will make, them, i wondered into one in Widnes and they made me one up in 10 mins for a small amount of money on reflective material.

Theres a different rule for imports about where you can have the plate mounted and how big it is etc.
