Does anyone know what the law say's about black number plates?

does your car have to be a certain age?

I've seen them on a series 1, a new-ish black corsa...

YEAH ILLEGAL

unless on cars registered before 1976 I think

 

Thought it was 1974

I might be wrong though.

 

Legal in the channel islands

 

car must be registered b4 1972/3 cant remember month

 

OK ya picky feckers the point I was making is he cant put em on his FRST

 

Yes he can.











Just not legally

 

wish i lived in the channel islands

might just ahve to stick to illegal path when i eventually put them on, not clever i know

 

Not worth it in my opinion. Why get fined for the sake of number plates I know they may look cool but after it's cost ya another £30 for the fine is it worth it???
Couple of my mates got done for ickle plates on their motors so mine soon came off

 

I had em on my black 90xpec xr3i for 10mins, got pulled and 30quid fine! Had to listen to the fookin copper talk for 20mins about the law on em with coffee breath too!

 

yeah spose so mate, cheers for the advice

might just put them on for shows nexy year, that'l be enough

some people are born lucky i sware i always see the same corsa up southend, it must only be a couple of years old, and he's got black plates, the feds must have a soft spot for the vaux crew

 

urgh, dirty coffee breath, sort it out mr copper dude

 

Had them on my XR2i, he was more concerned when I was stopped about them not reflecting. Had them on the Cossie for a while but it aint worth it in my opinion, I was caught 3 times and let off twice

 

they do seem to sell really well, and personally cant see the point of having them if your only gonna get pulled.... Not gonna stop anyone buying them from me though!!!

I got one of Chris's black plates for the back of my RS for shows, loks the bollocks

 

I got away with mine on the RSi for nearly 5 months, then I got caught twice in a week............. they came off after that! lol

 

cheers for your comments guys i will bear it in mind, probably wont risk it now you've said that

just stick to the shows i think
