I put a small plate on the front of me Esc Cos. Got pulled that night on the way home and said "My brother must of changed it as a joke" (It was on velcro). They let me off with a warning...
Got pulled 24hours later in exactly the same spot by exactly the same Officers. They took the plate and fined me £30

Can't blag it twice
So the next day I trimmed my standard front one down and didn't get pulled before she came off road.
