numberplate placement?

[jules-B]

hi all

looking at doing a bit of a custom exhuast...ie take off the number plate and have 2 pipes coming out of where it sat...on either side.......is there any law that your numberplate has to be lit up? as i can put one in the boot window with double sided tape?

just thought id check
cheers!

haha

i wasnt trying to be a 182...just after somthing different..not just your standard placement of the exhuast pipe..

i was goin to go more than the 182 thing though and put the pipes where the numberplate was


so i have to have it lit up then?

so i have to have it lit up then?

Yep, by law

But you could place it somewhere else and graft a light onto it, like in your bootlid.

When poeple smooth a boot for say a MK2 golf, you can buy a number plate recess kit for the bumper, so you could recess it somewhere lese I suppose.


Will still look shit though

move it to the side and use a square plate though it still has to be lit

with 2 tailpipes on each side..in the recessed bit
