Front Plate has to go!!!!
I personally feel that the front number plate has to be put somewhere else. Not right in front taking up almost 85% of the god damn "mouth"! Anbody knows if its legal to just do up a smaller plate and stick it just below the Front Mazda Logo?
|
Try to imagine wad im toking about on top.....removing the r magic plate totally. putting a smaller one just below the logo..
Any one of u know the regulations e.g dimensions, reflectivity etc etc..... Too lazy to go search.... CHEERS |
|
Ok thanks a lot...
And spyder if u ever get to read this thread......Ur plate legal? Or just biting the bullet for 3 years b4 inspection? |
This was what I did on my car Miata.
I couldn't pass the VICOM test, but manage to drive it around without any problem. |
OK thanks. Ye, i just did the same to mine. Sticker thingy....Hopefully no eyesore to TP.
Fingers crossed! |
Neon,
could you post a pix after you have done? I probably wanna do it as well, but will be great to see how it look. I think 2f2f got his mazda logo removed. So are you gonna do the same? |
How do these go through carparks that identify the number plates, such as Tangs? Any problems?
|
Hi Fab8, were u at Raffles City Shopping Ctr tis morning at abt 10:30am? Thought i saw ur car. HEHE.
|
Yup, that was me :)
|
i wil be doing it tomorrow. once done, will post a pic.
2F2F, how much u paid to patch them up and repaint? i'm thinking of doing that, the logos too fugly..... |
Hi Neon.
It IS legal. Under the Road Traffic Act, legal plates have to be of a certain size (i.e. the character) & colour. Interestingly, the characters on the plate can be either 3-d or flat; same goes for the plate itself. But check for how reflective the plate turns out - that's the only REAL problem u could get into. I'll retrieve the exact provision if u like. Me kept a copy for four-point harness in me previous ride. Be ready to produce in event that TP stop u. |
BTW M-Ster, I'm surprised u couldn't clear the VICOM. When was your test?
|
Hi Rabbit, thanks for the info! Never knew the pasted on plates are legal.
For black cars, the plate will probably blend into the car colour. That will look cool, I think. |
At risk of being a nag; watch the size of the characters & level of reflectiveness.
By way of general estimation, u should be able to squeeze the characters under the mazda logo as Neon wants to do. |
Red (car) & black (plate) is quite striking!
On the other hand, u could paint ur RX black! |
Well another issue that cross my mind is whether LTA or TP will object to paste-on-plate is the fact that these plates maybe not be at the same angle as plates mounted in the normal manner as plate will not be perpendicular to the road n thus be able to evade the red-light-cameras or speed cameras. Would anyone like to add their views b4 all owners rush out to get plates which would not be approved. Tks!
|
With respect, not quite an issue since both cameras mentioned flash the rear of the car - not the front.
|
Me assume that nobody is gonna paste 'plates' on the rear. But even if u do, same thing applies.
The kiasu (love that word!) thing to do would be to write LTA & ask. |
Originally posted by Mr Rabbit BTW M-Ster, I'm surprised u couldn't clear the VICOM. When was your test? That was sometime middle of last year. dru8999 nail half the reason, normally a stick on plate will not be on the right angle. The other reason would be, stick-ons are normally non-reflective material, I think the either the numbers or the base plate has to be of a reflective finish. Thus - reflextive YELLOW/WHITE base with non-reflex NUMBERS or reflextive WHITE NUMBERS on NON-REFLEX BLACK NUMBERS |
Ok just did mine. Note it definitely fails VICOM. Moreover mine is white backgrd--->worse (on Black 8)
Apologies for the pix, taken with V200. :D |
Oh b d way, its a sticky type (So called German sticker or wudever...) Easy to peel out too when 3 years up and no eye sore to TPs....
|
Can take a better photo to appreciate the effect? Many thanks!
|
can't you have it black base with white text?
do you need to remove the whole front bumper to get the plate off? concur with Fab8 about the picture quality:) cheers |
Ok wil get a better pix once taken wif digicamera.
Of coz can have the standard black n white lettering. Personal preference i guess.... CHEERS |
