Saw this on ebay. Would look good on a full fat supercharged in my opinion. Possibly a bargain if your quick!

Apart from the fact that its illegal, when spaced out like that. Not that I'd pull anyone, but there are some.... 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded |

The DVLA can cancel your right to use that plate, but IIRC you usually have to present your car with a correct plate to the nearest police station within 10 days (??) or get a £1000 fine. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

they say that the 'modified' plates cause problems with the ANPR system but looking at a hell of a lot of cars the 'legal' plates are delaminating and badly discoloured

Is having a non-complying plate not also an MOT failure? 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

illegal number plate spacing seems to be viewed as petty crime most of the time. Nobody can be bothered to do anything about it.

Not quite. You will be issued with a VDRS form which give you 14 days to get it changed. An MOT station has to check it. There's no point going to a police station - if you are lucky enough to find an officer there, chances are they won't know the legislation. The amount of newbies I've worked with over the years who really haven't got a clue. Some of the old sweats are no better! 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded |
