Im serious about getting one of these flip up number plate things but are they legal? i thought as long as your showing your plate then they should be?

Think you can't charged with intent or something along those lines.

yeah my understanding is that they are illegal....

 

you might get away with it as long as it isn't obvious you have them on the car, but if you forget and flip them up and a cop sees you... well ......

Handy at car shows for a picnic table too:ninja:

there was a meber on here that had one if i remember right. was it not baz??? maybe wrong.

I want one too..... Group buy anyone???

I think MantaV8 and Boldy made one for Boldy's Zed out of a windscreen wiper arm

I wonder if the 190mph rating is based on the front or back

Yeah I had one on my last Z :) good memory trev

you want one that flips in a nano second when approaching speed cams...this is the type i had on a bike once and wired into horn button:shifty:

I always wanted one (remote one)

I bought Baz's electric one to fit onto my DC5 but unfortunately it sat only 3/4mm away from the radiator so didn't want to risk it and ended up buying a manual one. (electric one will probably be fitted to my dads 300zx in the future)

 

Not sure if i'm permitted to let people know where they can purchase them (uk supplier) as they are not a trader on the forum. If it isn't a problem then could a mod let me know and i will be happy to let members know.

 

Heres mine :D

 

 

Out:

 

In:

yep thats the one it slide out then flips up or down,and yes if you do have the contact details for the uk supplier or contact details please forward them to me. And i would just like to say that i have a different front end and it would look better with one of these. thanks.

Well im guessing none of the traders on here sell them so that means i wont be taking business away from them. The UK supplier is http://www.boltsbolts.co.uk

cheers

I would be surprised if there was an actual law against them, specifically.

 

Great for show use. When the plate is showing then its just a plate holder. Its if you were caught on the road with the plate hidden that there would be an issue, ofcourse.

Is it true as I heard, that the fine / points for not displaying a number plate (say like it fell off or broke in half or was covered in mud) is actually less than those for getting caught speeding?

Just found an even better one that rotates the plates to show a different plate......lol

Proper james bond..... we could all use Mark's reg number as the reverse one......lol

That is cool, best action of the lot

dont want a big numberplate stuck on the front, today i have been down the model shop and bought myself a mech that is used for bringing up wheels on the undercarrage of remote planes. cost so far £23. 00. plus ill need some servos ect, The children have a remote controlled mini that the remote was binned or gone down the charity shop. so tonight ill be pulling everything out of there to use, watch this space.

Now thats what im talking about. lol:clap:
