UK Plate

Gambit · 5th August 2010, 09:04 PM

I'm thinking about changing my Jap front number plate to uk because the jap one kinda reminds me of rabbit teeth.

Is it legal to hav a uk front and jap rear?

is there a uk plate holder and will it fit into the jap screw holes?

I don't think there will be any issues about legality.

The number plate holders are different, slightly. Take a look here:

I spoke to my contact at toyota today and he told me there was no mout for the UK.... Shame on him!

Will the holes line up, not convinced by the picture.

Mine was a UK car and when I bought a plate holder from Halfrauds it didn't line up exactly. Used a bit of that tile edging used in bathrooms to make an adapter.

Do you have the plate holder Mo? Sale???

Not the plate holder dude. My bro took it. If I remember correctly it was only £10.

I got my Jap front (& rear) number plates from http://www.craigsplates.com
The only place I found that would make a legal Jap plate on one line instead of the usual 2 lines on the massive square plate.

It comes with the BSAU 145d and Manufacturer.

My plate only measured 380mm x 90mm (UK 520mm x 111mm)

It doesn’t quite fit in the Jap mount so I had to cut the top lip off (a craft knife does well and a bit of sanding)

I was really pleased with the quality and service. Highly recommended.

PS.
If you go to him, please say Stephen with the import (& UK) plates recommended him please

Nice Stephen, but I ordered a uk mount today from Mr T and they will do me a plate when I collect.

But I'm liking the small plate, is that totally legal?

V · 9th August 2010, 07:59 PM

yes, totally - for an import.
