I’ve heard that the police take a dim view of shortened no plates! Any probs yourself?

nope , had them on 5 cars now , but I only ever run the front one , I always run std on the rear.
(fancy plates dont seem to do a 2/3rds rear plate anyway)

come MOT time take the risk or stick the full sized one on top of the small one for 1 day.

very much a personal call , there was also talk of making illegal number plates an auto fine + 3 points , rather than just a fine

Hi Boyz,

Re: Quality issue

A question for those of you with pressed plates. Where the digits are raised, does the paint flake off at the edges?
My old Harleys pressed plate was flaking quite badly after only a few months, and it looked at bit crap.

What are yours like... are they Dubmeisters?

Cheers... Hotrod
