alessandro Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Motorised number plate now fitted!!!!!!! First of all thanks to RTBSCUITS for organizing this and Ross at JAPEX for the fitting. Plate in: The bracket that Ross ahd to make in order to fit the frame: Plate out: Here is where I was thinking to stick the controller, WHAT DO YOU THINK? And a Video! http://s658.photobucket.com/albums/uu31 ... eo0003.flv Few very minor issues, the bracket doesn't retract completely because of the radiator and once the plate is out it's a bit wobbly, a part from this I REALLY LOVE IT,REALLY COOL Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 stirling job there mate, looks really good. glad you liked it and the GB worked out. as for the wobbles, i plan to use the tow hook eye thing i got from nurrish's GB, it sticks out abit, so i'm hoping the numberplate might rest against that, will let you know when i fit mine on tuesday. am really jealous you got yours on first but really impressed with the work, really like the use of trim on the mess to tidy it up i think Shire is next to get his on Quote
alessandro Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 The noise on the back ground are from Ross drilling the side wing to fit my new Zed badge indicators Quote

That will be my next projets..... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 interesting to know about the tow hook, will have to look into it on mine Quote
alessandro Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 Will take those tomorrow, they're really cool too ( Thanks Dominique for selling me those) next plan to finish those off is to remove and smooth off the old one ooooo you got pics of those as well Quote
bhavin85 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Very coool Cant wait to get mine on this weekend now! Is that rubber that you have put around the cut out in the mesh? I was thinking I need something similar to make the finish look much smoother Quote
yokomo Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 ah so thats why theyre all booke up of late ! looking good (off to see japex in the morning to get my Y piper fitted) very trick show car mod there Quote
sparky370z Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 what is the legality with these? are they fully Kosha? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 from the people i have spoken to in the know, as long as your plate is on display when on a UK highway while on the move then you are staying within the law. if you drive with this down then you are breaking the law. the only way the police would know your numberplate did this is if you were using it illegally on the road.

GT4 Zed Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 i am not really sure about this Rich as i think a while ago when i was siffing around the GTROC for an R34 there was someone who had an issue with this i may recall it was retractable but past 70mph it would flex inwards completely horizontal and therefore the plate could not be seen The argument was if its not to break the law why do you have it The same argument goes for sitting in your car at the drivers seat on your driveway with no key in the ignition(in the house even) but you just happen to be over the limit You would be done for drink driving still its all about percieved intent mate Quote
Husky Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 i can see the use for them. at meets and shows it makes sense as there are alot of people who like the look of thier modded fronts without the plate. you for one bennet, currently dont have a plate on as far as i'm aware Quote
Husky Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 was jst chuckling at the thought of the WM meet there Quote
alessandro Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 Bhavin85: Yes there is rubber all around the mesh where it was cut to keep a tidy look Re legality: I don't really know and not bother at the moment, I did drive around for a while without plate and this helps me achieving the look I want and keep the police less "interested" in the car. ( Just to clarify I dont go around driving like a t@*t, but sometimes I struggle to remember speed limits ) I'll need someone else help to see if the number plate folds over 70mph, on the way back from the garage today I only managed to hit 30mph on the M25 Quote
rob63 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Use it on the road combined with a little bit of 'spirited' driving and you'll be looking at 3 months behind bars, a ban etc. I'd even look into 'intent to pervert...' Quote
Husky Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 mate just dont hit the button on the road, simple as that. Quote
