Got my log book back with the new reg number

on and just ordered the new plates in old legal fronts 305x75mm (12x3 inch) rear 203x152mm (8x6inch)

where did you get your front plates from?

Plates for cars you make your own up as mines a jap car the rear should fit like a glove instead of the motor bike rear plate that's cut down a bit to fit

Oh, i was just looking for import plates and couldn't find those ones. ty

I get mine from Showplates they will have your plates posted out to you in a few days and do any size.

They scream "pull me over and fine me now please" [emoji1]

That rear plate looks a bit dodgy Ted.

Haha yea but it looks good there gaz and I'll put the other ones in the boot just incase

And yet...

 

 

Your own front plate wears similar spacing, Joel ;) :tt2:

 

Ted's rear plate, though: definitely asking for trouble with that one!

If this was QI, the klaxon would be going off and the lights would be flashing [emoji1]

 

I refer you to The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (2002 No.2687): http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/2687/pdfs/uksi_20022687_en.pdf

 

The amendment that reflects import Z32's is 14a (Section 5(2)). It details the legal requirement for the spacing/sizing/font requirements of the registration display and as per that, mine is legal. [emoji41]

 

I also have an email from the DVLA stating that if my registration markings conform to this amendment, then they are indeed legal. I carry these documents around in my glovebox.

Touche. Although all I actually stated is that yours and Ted's front plates have similar spacing (meaning no 2 separate groups of characters)... I didn't comment on the legality of them. Cue your own klaxon there...? :thumbup1:

 

However, I'd have been almost certain that your plate should be divided into 2 groups of characters (presumably J30 LYP) which should surely mean that you're missing a separation space between 0 and L...? Unless, of course, your actual registration is J30LYP in which case I'll take a double helping of humble pie :biggrin:

 

EDIT: Nope, a check on DVLA shows your reg as J30 LYP so I'm genuinely baffled as to how your front plate is strictly legal.

Scaling may be a bit off, but you look like you are edging it a bit to me.

Aha, but have a read of the amendment? The groups within the amendment are assumed to have the 2 groups of letters divided vertically (on 2 lines), but nowhere does it state that you have to do that. There is no directive in 14a which states horizontal spacing between groups (unless you have a UK car).

 

Some loophole, that!

Very much so, it's a bit grey and down to interpretation, but I think I stand a fighting chance when/if I eventually get pulled over for it, I'll let you know!

So I'm fine now Joel if I use this on the back not happy about that

Might be worth checking the width its supposed to be, the one i have is quite alot wider and fits the entire plate window.

Been on this plate for past 9 months!
