Cragus Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I am trying to decide where my front plate should be placed and what type of plate I should use. The legalities of plates are being scrutinised under Stews thread just now - I have no desire to misrepresent my plate but I want it to impinge on the looks of my z as little as possible. Any suggestions? I have been thinking from shorter plate, to sticker plate to motorised plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 not sure on the impact on cooling putting the plate in the grill area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I can't remember your plate exactly but it's 7 characters isn't it? If it is then you won't be able to get a cut down plate - check the links with the legalities and I found using craigsplates and selecting the 'legal' option keeps you right. Only really two options for placement. In the grille (cooling????? maybe no issue!) or on the bumper above the grille but then you could move it about to get the right height.

ATTAK Z Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 not sure on the impact on cooling putting the plate in the grill area No issues AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 On the amuse, the bottom part angles in...would it be legal to stick a plate there if it not front facing? Dont mind that position too much captain but think I would prefer the plate to be shorter and make it a sticker - again dont know if sticker plates are legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTAK Z Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Leave it in the passenger side window +1 that's the badass way! It MUST be visible from the front of the car, so if you want to stay within the law the passenger side window is a or do you mean "the windscreen on the passenger side (LHS) of the car" ?

Stew Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 This has to be a new record for most off topic in 2 pages. It went from where to put a number plate to a one armed gay fellow with a glove on in a matter of minutes..... So my suggestion is that you travel everywhere with a one armed gay man in the passenger seat holding your plate with his gloved hand. Job done!
