cut down reg plate

how many people on here run a cut down reg plate and have been stopped cos of it? My neighbours have small regplates on there runners and have never been stopped. Wanted a smaller plate for mine as its going to be side mounted and its rather large.

 

i had one for ages no problems, but if you come across a true C**T of a cop they will give you a ticket. i got three points for a cut L plate last week

 

i think its stupid how big they made them.

 

is it an MOT failure? and proper arseholes some of them!

 

i totally agree.

 

Mine's a 5x7 and never had any problems, had cops behind me and they didn't do anything haha.
Even got a speeding ticket with it on and they didn't give me points or anything for it:

 

not bad haha, my neighbours is tiny though! Its just bigger than the size of a photograph

 

nice one mate. how do you cut it or even make holes in it without cracking it ?

 

I was gonna get one like that but thought it'd attract too much attention haha.
Having one THAT small probably would get you pulled over :L
5x7 is about the smallest without being unreadable really

 

Used a marker pen to mark out the holes, tapped lightly on the drill bit with a hammer to make an indent then just slowly drilled, goes through like butter haha

 

I did it once a while ago on a chinese ped, basically the edge of the plate was at the edge of the letters haha, i only got told by the police to round the edges of the plate, and not to ride it until i had rounded the edges haha

 

mines 5x7 with 2" letters. Never had any grief....but then again they've never been fast enough

If you take the piss with the size as said above, they'll tug you every chance they get. Being as my plate is 5x7 they'd probably not stop you just for that, but if they did stop you they'd throw everything at you that was wrong....race can, black visor, errr...maybe slightly over the speed limit officer

 

kool that easy then lol or what if i heat up a screw driver and melt the holes

 

That'd probably end up discolouring the plastic and the holes could look more like bullet holes through metal because it'd be melting the plastic to get through haha.
Drilling is easier than you'd think
I've drilled 3 plates without any misshaps, just put them on a piece of wood and hold them down with your foot

 

yeah, i just want mine a little smaller, as its being side mounted

 

yeah drilling sounds easyer tbh but bullet holes hmm new design for my plastics

 

i may aswell order one instead of cutting mine, just for the MOT, and keep the original in the boot so if i get pulled by a wanker of a cop then ill switch it over and piss on his bonfire lol

 

i run 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch on all my scooters and the letters are smaller than standard and i have never been stopped , i dont drill any plates as it let the moisture get inside and ruins them , i just make a alloy plate with protruding studs fitted then fasten the plate to that

 

what do you think to 4x6? on the design website im on it says its fully legal aslong as you space it correctly and select the BS standards on the dropdown box
