Front Registration plates

[stevieray]

Hi,

Presently my Dax has the plates on the front bumper assembly, that effectively block any air flow across the oil cooler.

Q: Where can I get "stick-on" registration mark to go on the bonnet?

Try a local signwriter, they normally make up numberplates in whatever style you need, hth

Here - these folks do them:

Go to the "order form" for details.

Are you required by law to display front number plates

Motorbikes do not display front number plates.:

Yep you have to show front plates on cars; the law for bikes changed in around '75 if I remember correctly.

You could always try the old favourite and twist it downwards at an angle, then it frees up the airflow to the oil cooler and makes the plate almost impossible to read from the front.......bonus.

I believe that stick on numberplates are technically illegal too... but on an "original" looking car, you'd probably get away with it...

If you need air to cool the oil during road driving (With front plate on ) then you may have a cooling problem.
Other than that make it swivel as Andy says.

Thanks Guys,

For your practical help and opinion.

The engine is not acually overheating,but as an engineer myself (albeit electrical),if there is a oil cooler inlet vent and it is effectively blocked by the number plate, it would seem to make sense to try and relocate it.

Via Vintage Plates. I spoke to Polar Automotives (01892 519933) who were more than happy to supply for £15 the black & silver stick on plate for the snout (after the obligatory health warning of course)

Again thanks to all
