Running no front number plates
Running no front number plates
Just picked up my RS6 over the weekend and the previous owner used to run without a number plate up front. But has misplaced any parts associated with the number plate holder.
It does look alot 'cleaner' without but its not something i want to run the risk of doing as there is apparently now an on the spot fine.
While I source/look to order what I need are Many people running no plate without any bother?

Re: Running no front number plates
Been running mine for well over a year now without any problem - however I did get a random pull near Euston Station a few months back but they seemed more interested in the car than lack of front plate. He asked where it was and I said indoors. The only time it goes back on is when I am travelling to Europe.

Although giving it more thought my private reg has a space in it that shouldn't be there so If I get stopped for that I will probably get done 2 times over!
I'll probably run the plate holder and decide if I want to take the risk.
Re: Running no front number plates
So the front number plate isn't used at all? Isn't this a massive camera swerve ? If the police really wanted to be a massive pain what's the worst that could happen ? Confiscation of RS isn't cool ! :-/ guess you can say it's fallen off and play that card once !

I believe Thames Valley Police are cracking down on people choosing not to display a front number plate.

Re: Running no front number plates
Same here, as my plate is already downsized I don't need the attention tbh . Small Swiss Plate holder on order from Audi though on back order currently .

Re: Running no front number plates
Do you have details of the item you have ordered? I would be interested in a smaller front plate holder as my private plate looks lost in the current one!

Re: Running no front number plates
Done this yesterday. Was going to run plateless for a while but had this plate already made up from a previous car so thought I’d try it in that location.

I know this is my first post here but couldn't resist.
That really upsets my sense of symmetry.

Re: Running no front number plates
I see where your coming from. It’s not a permanent fixture by any means. I just wanted to see if it would grow on me. Tbh I’ve ran plateless on many cars so this one won’t be any different.
