hey guys

my front number plate is on the right hand (drivers side) of the front of the car. because its there it sorta bends slightly around the side of the car.

im not sure if a camera will or wont pick up my whole plate so im wondering if its illegal?

standing in front of the car it is totally 100% visible tho.

well i had my number plate on the right hand side for a while and guess what ... i still managed to cop a speeding fine from a camera.

i was also pulled over while having my plate there and they didnt say anything

Well as long as your number plate is visible from the front it is still legal.

If you see current Alfa Rome models, they all have front number plate at one side due to the fact that they have that weird triangular grill....

depends if you want to take the chance of attracting attention to your car.

I had mine on the right because of the clever-heads and bentley garage. When i got pulled over by a cop he whinged about it and threatened to fine me $100 if he saw it there again.

Might not be illegal, but it only takes one policeperson to argue otherwise and you will have a fine or be attracting them to look over the rest of your car.

I've been over the pits twice they said nothing,been pulled over a few times and nothing and then one day a cop said "You can't move the number plate more than 10cm's from the original spot" and I said I've been over the pits and he said "ok thats alright then" LOL

    • To be determined, Luke, to be determined. 馃榿 Definitely the car
    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It鈥檒l be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
