Vinyl Numberplates...

[AndyLala]

Gentlefolk,

been doing some sniffing about... with regard to Vinyl numberplates, ie. stuck to the bonnet leading edge...

Basically, if you vehicle is registered after '72 its got to be a standard plate. Unless its an import and a standard plate wouldn't fit...

So what have others done with regard to this... not wanting to attract anymore attention than my baby does already...

I am thinking along the lines if a US style plate that should still bolt to the fittings on the Warn bumper... if it looks 'factory' it may get nothing more than a 2nd look...

Other option, is to fabricate a vertical bracket and put it on the leading edge of the roof rack... like the old camel trophy LR's used to do...

I've got a vinyl one on the bonnet of my 2.4, and nothing on the front, and a bonnet guard....and been frowned at, but that's about it....

I may have me wires crossed but... if you want a no. plate that wont be in front of the winch fairlead... a while ago i found a site with quick disconnects.

www.scorpionracing.co.uk have something like that for land rovers. dont know if you could fabricate it to suit a surf .
