true.. can you get away with that though?

Not really tbh.

I see loads of cars around my way doing it.  cops dont pull them.

Maybe the cops don't pull them but I am sure if you check it is illegal to have it in the front window.

My mate had a Corvette that he imported from America. That was prepared and put throught it's SVA (RHD lights, rear fog, reverse light etc) and was passed with on front number plate. The said as the vehicle was originally built with nowhere to mount them, it was not required. He drove it like that for 3 years with no bother at all.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I had an identical setup to yours and used sticky adhesive pads to hold my plate in place (Halfords sell them). Its worth getting a set of steel pressed plates and they really did make it look smarter.





Only problem is that over time these pads wore off and became a bit of a royal pain in the arse and really started to wind me up. Im now back to a standard grille (not out of choice mind you but I'm quite glad I don't have to deal with the bloody plate coming off anymore).

It is totally illegal to have it in the front window.
