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?

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?

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.

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.

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!

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

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
