Hi

What size number plates, both font and plate, have you got?

Do they attract any unwanted attention from the law?

Cheers.

Ive mostly had legal number plates... some of my mates run small number plates and they do get hassle from time to time.... I think its best not to attract attension. I ran a race can and was never questioned.... those with small number plates tend to get MOT producers....
I did run a "slightly" smaller one for about a year with no problems. But it did look legal until it was right next to a legal one....

I agree dont attract attention with small plates. They only give you a fine of £30 or a mot check, no points.

Better to run without one when in a group, "it must have dropped off officer" often works!
