No idea if it illage or not. But whiling dismountling my n/a front end today it looked a lot cleaner with no number plate, were it normaly sits and looked quite nice placed lower down towards the bottom. Just an idea if anyone fancys a change

As Marjorie Dawes would say - "Say it again, say it again".

Hi,

Got any pictures of how this looks? If you fit the number plate to low, you may end up with reducing the amount of air flow to the radiator.

Could you get away with an E-type jag number plate on the bonnet or badge panel or would this be illegal/MOT fail?

Ben

both illegal and will fail mot i believe

I would careful of moving the number plate location lower since you risk blocking the flow of air to the radiator.

only e-types are allowed that by law. i looked into this in some detail before studying the statutory stuff/ laws when i wanted i vinyl number plate on the bonnet of my 1970 gt6. Not legal !! only e-types are allowed as they were manufactured that way. I did it anyway and still passed my MOT as the testers don't know about this in much detail and just assume older cars are allowed. Don't think this dude will pass mot with plate mounted on badge panel of 944 though- no chance.

Slighty off subject .... How come motor bikes dont need to have front plates? Completely unfair for car drivers who have a much more increased chance of being caught on forward facing speed cameras?

front plates on a motor bike are classed as a potential danger to a pedestrian, anyone remember pre 70's bikes with front plates ?

If your wondering this is how it looks,took it off 2 years ago.(note that i live in rome,don't try this at home kids )

What do the locals generally think about the Porsche ?

Not being made in Italia etc.

They could make them soft and rubbery then?

Pedestrians are sort of soft and rubbery with hard bits in the middle, seriously though soft rubbery front number plates how would they keep their shape at speed.
