Fantastic! This is just what I was looking for, do I assume that the vinyl plates can be removed easily when needed? Having to get a new front end due to somebody smashing into me and I don\'t really want dodgy holes drilled into it so the smaller vinyl plate seems ideal.

There was a link posted on the first page of this thread to the DVLA website with the requirements of \'displaying your plates\' and also there was a section that said something about \'some import cars were allowed to use a smaller front plate\'.............

The link has now been replaced with another, looks like the DVLA re-vamped their site and it\'s either no longer there(hidden), or I can\'t find it.

I originally printed off the whole link with the requirements to keep in my car incase Mr plod comes aknocking... But seems I lost it:mad: ..

Has anyone done the same and printed it out or even saved it on their PC as I would like to get another copy please.

Yea the sticky plates are removable....... all you need to do is warm up the plate using a hair dryer to soften the glue, then slowley remove the plate. any glue that is left behind can be cleand off using a rag and some petrol!!

I see what you mean, I can\'t find it now either. There is a section "http://www.regtransfers.co.uk/main/faq/newstyle/change_plate_newfont.asp" which says
"However those motorists who have number plates that are not substantially the same as the new mandatory font should change them for plates that comply with new regulations. Once the new font becomes compulsory existing number plates using any typeface that is not substantially the same as that specified in the regulations will be illegal." which implies that if you had a sticky plate on prior to the new regs which has substantially the same font, then you should be OK (or at least that\'s how I\'d chose to interpret it...)
