another poll number plates

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i know my 1982 cortina is way past the leagel date for black and silver number plates

 

but will the police really bother me as its a old ford anyway??

 

so would you just stay original white/yellow plates

 

or go black and silver

Stay with what you're allowed to display.

 

As I see it, if too many people take the piss out of the rules concerning black and silver plates, everyone will lose the right to display them.

black and silver look better but you may get a few fines

[Copey]

see my sig and guess what i voted

[stevepeanut]

someone told me that with number plate offences,

 

ie small plates (like the bikes use)

or using black plates on modern cars

 

you can get a couple of fines, and then on the third, the dvla can confiscate your reg number and V5 and issue you with a Q plate

KEEP TO ORIGINALS

KEEP TO ORIGINALS

 

agree with that one, black plates are meant for very old cars

I dont really know what the story is in th Uk but here in ireland were allowed black plates on cars pre 1986....

i took my black and silver pressed plates off the capri in favour of yellow/black perspex plates. so theres my answer, they seem to suit some cars (like toms) than others.

could always meet in the middle and get coloured pressed ally plates

seen a few modern cars with black number plates fitted, not seen a decent one yet that id like.

 

As said before, keep em for the older pre 73 cars,

i use black and silver on mine, but when im out in it i haver my white and yellow ones with me.

 

My brother got a producer for a small plate on his bike not a fine so im not sure if it would be the same for having the black and silvers on or not? could vary from area to area and copper to copper

cool, just get a matchin one for the front and jobs a good'un

 

tbh i think the plastic ones look cheap and nasty on an OSF

 

if i ever get tugged for my black/silver plates i will be goin for some pressed coloured ones

[banarama]

keep it as it should be

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

its in my shed because i prefer square front plate

I had Black and Silver plates on my Mk1 Fiesta for a while.. Had quite a few coppers behind me (traffic and normal) and none ever pulled me, until I got an 'ex MOT tester'

 

Only a £30 fine, they looked ace though
