Reflective stick on number plate

[TheTigerUK]

Are stick on number plates generally accepted as ok by the MOT stations and the law ?

I fancy a stick on plate on my MR2, in the photo the one on the left has the standard plate and the one on the right stick a on, looks better IMO.

Provided they meet the BS requirements, there's no restriction for adhesive plates.

Thanks, off to ebay :)

You may find you have to send off original documents to get the plates. I found that the other day, so I rummaged through my garage and found a set that I hadn't put on a vehicle before.

A local supplier may be a better bet. :0)

I removed the bumper mounted one on my MK2 MX5 and replaced it with a stick on one on the bonnet and it wasnt a problem at MOT time.

I could be wrong, and I don't see anything in the link provided earlier, but I recall that the plate had to be vertical, so a bonnet fixed one isn't, strictly, legal.

I've got a stick on one on my 1969 Marcos' bonnet and it's never been questioned, but I recall owners of newer models having to fix plastic ones to the front of the car for MOTs.

Maybe this was just over zealous testers interpreting the rules incorrectly?

Yes, thats a good point. I had quite a long discussion on the MX5 forum about this and the consensus was that its not strictly legal but most reasonable testers wont fail it. As I say, mine went through OK. Though I did revert to the bumper mounted one before I sold the car.

I have a stick on front plate on a Westfield.

My MoT tester was fine for years, but now he simply asks that I bring along a proper acrylic front plate for the test. I don't have to fit it.... as it obviously 'just fell off' when leaving the test station!
