Originally posted by lawsy View PostShimmy just put your plate in the windscreen, at the bottom, its still visible, if you get pulled say it was loose.
As long as its visible from the front and not obscured and its a fully legit plate, all is good. Ran a few cars like this, never tugged once.
but surely truvelos and av speed scams can still see it, might as well be on the bumper
unless you are saying trhow it on the dash when you get tugged and say it waas there all along - it might even be snapped where the thugs pulled it off

this is interesting I ran a White 111R before the csl (along with the yellow S3). I didn't put a plate on the front but had it in the car along with one screw. I was never pulled, I put it down to the 'sloped' sporty front not the colour.Originally posted by shimmy View Postlike the velcrow solution maybe with a bracket to underneath as well.
dont like the californian solution using the towing eye as just as likely to get pulled by the Babylon with a small or off centre plate and rather than £30 fine it would be 3 points
have you noticed that with white cars it is not so obvious that a plate is missing (doesnt look as wrong)

Shim, I never put one on the Strad or my old CSL, looks much better IMO. I only got hassle off French cops on the way to Monaco last year. I just ALWAYS keep the plate down the side of the seatOriginally posted by shimmy View Postlike the velcrow solution maybe with a bracket to underneath as well.

Were they OK about it in Monaco?Originally posted by Hazy View PostShim, I never put one on the Strad or my old CSL, looks much better IMO. I only got hassle off French cops on the way to Monaco last year. I just ALWAYS keep the plate down the side of the seat
When I lived there I used to get pulled so much for not having a front plate on, got to be on first name basis with a lot of the fuzz, only a couple bothered in the end, eventhough the MC plates are small upfront it still looks better without.
But I know they love pulling over foreign cars.

Those cars have special dispensation to offset their plates due to their front bumper/fender design. Not so sure the CSL would legally be able to do the same...Originally posted by SachaR View PostShimmy, Offset is not illegal, if it was then all alfa romeos GT, 156, 147 etc would be too!!!

This is great, I like this, the other one you posted is nice to but I looked at those before and its a big sytem to fit underneath.Originally posted by Forelli View Post
Maybe the one on the 350z is more compact its definately a nice idea.
