I have heard this also, i do not know how much truth there is to it, but one of my reloes had a mx5 with no front plates, and i was like wtf, and they insisted they didnt come out with them because there was no where to put them, i was just like, yes ok...

Im sure you can get away with it, but you can also get fined on it. Ring up ur local tmu a few times, and i betya u get a few different answers regarding to it :P

just put it on, what harm is it doing?

You rnumber plate is to be fitted to the centre of your front bar.... Fitting to the side is as illegal as not having one at all...

It must be perfectlly visable from a 60 degree angle at 20 metres...

I did my research the other day...

Last time i checked the front numberplate could be mounted on the side but must still conform with the angle and distance rule thingo.

When did you check?

I never had a problem with it being on the side

As long as it is viewable as above standards you will not be booked. But you can never tell if the officer that pulled u up is in a good mood or not...

I have never had a problem with mine being side mounted either. But a friend of mine had her plate zip tied to her front mesh, and when she drove it folded up so you couldnt see it, and she got pulled over, and told to fix it or cop a defect. I think it depends on the officer you get too, but if they are in a bad mood they will do you for anything.

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
