Are front plates required in all areas of the UK?

Here we have some states that don't require them or if you have a nice car you can put them in the front windshield. They just really kill the look of a lot of cars.

>>17483318
Yeah so they can catch us on the BIG BROTHER NETWORK easily and fine us all our wages.

>>17483318
all uk requires front plates, though my last car came with the front plate on the dashboard and I just left it there with no problems

>>17483318

Yeah, front plates are a legal requirement on all cars. Bikes obviously can't have front plates.

You can get away with running plate stickers on your bonnet etc if you have a kit car iirc, and some people do the same on cars with bodywork that doesn't allow for plates, original or modified, but police can be iffy with it.

I've always wanted to get pulled over just so I can say "I've seen enough Police, Camera, Action to know where this is going"

>>17482800
I should really post on slack more desu

I'm looking to get a Micra for around 100 pounds as something to fix up to learn about cars, but the only place I've reliably found them for this price is eBay. Is it safe to buy one for eBay or am I in for huge amounts of rust?

>>17483850
you can always go and view the car no? if it's that far away that it's a hassle to get it back then a 100 quid micra becomes more with the added costs

>>17483862
Yeah, I just wasn't sure if with eBay you had to pay without seeing it due to some of them being bidding only, I guess I could probably go see it before bidding was over though.

>>17483905
nah you can always view before you buy, most people recommend it because they don't want some bozo turning up to pay for the car and actually realising it's a dog and walking away

>>17483922
Good point. Thanks for the help.

>>17483355
stick on front plates are illegal UNLESS you own a Jaguar E-type. This particular exemption was put in to law by some MP who owned one.

Basically if you're not driving like a cunt you'll get away with one, if you're ripping HEKTIK SKIDZ in maccy d's carpark, you'll get the £1000 fine on top of the rest of constable freemason's wishes.

You got a source on that, ugly?

>>17487271
How do I make sure it isn't going to rust to death?

>>17487271
Source on what? the DVLA said the stick on plate is illegal but the e-type is exempt because it came like that and it's the only time they'll ever make an exception.

the thing about an MP i read online somewhere. It was on the internet, it must be true.

>>17487279
No shit ones m8 sry

>>17483850
m8 let me be real for a sec. you can spend 10k on a micra. it will have rust.
you want a car that will outlast you apart from rust? you want a car with an mot? get a micra for £300 with a dodgy as fuck mot and leave it is as that. you'll have hektic fun keeping the foot well buried in all gears. its not 2010 anymore, though so it will last you till the day mot runs out and you have to spend 1000k+ for welding repairs.

This should probably go in a QTDDTOT lads, but I got a problem. Bought a LR 110 1998 with a 200TDi, been fixing up the obvious issues to get MOT ready.

Due today for the test, and the fucker wouldn't start. Jumping did nothing either, engine tries and fails to turn over. Solenoid? Starter motor connections?

This is my second Landy and I'm already in love, despite being a fucking rustbucket.

>>17487434
*1988 woops. Hence the problems.

>>17487434
start with the solenoid then maybe check for a loose ground?

>>17491372
Yes and they're also for faggots and daddys money women.

if you want an edgy plate for car shows just get one made up saying whatever you want and put it on when you get there.

if you want B1G D4VE on your leased range rover then literally auschwitz yourself

>>17491417
Wow, that's pretty different here. Usually you can see some pretty funny plates occasionally. Do you have licensed plates, like say of a sports team or is it always that yellow color?

>>17491426
White front plates, yellow rears.

Black plates for real old cars

>>17499298
Two options:
>Work every hour you can in your job to pay for your too-expensive shitmobile, never have time to work on it

>Just wait until you're like, 28 and have a clean record. Then thank Mr Noseberg for being allowed to own a car with more than a 2 litre engine

>>17499298
What age are you? It does get a lot better, my insurance on my FiST is about £380/year and I'm 26, but I do have a clean record and 5 years NC. My insurance for the first year of driving was £2400 for a diesel Clio.

Northern Irish here, I think we get fucked the most.

>>17499363

>>17499371

>>17499391
Can you get your parents to insure the car and name you as a driver?

>>17499399
I can. Im currently a named driver on my dads bmw. But even with the named shit i dont see an easy solution for the kike problem.

>>17499382
As in, you'd be driving a 1.4 chassis with a 1.8 dropped in, insured as a 1.8?

Totally a breach of your insurance, but it'd be hard to catch you

>>17499501
*insured as a 1.4
I'm retarded at writing

>>17499501
>>17499507
Yeah exactly. It would work. Ive seen people run 2jzs in bmw e30 chassis with classic insurance so probably dirt cheap

>>17499525

Would always reccomend Landys, but thats just a personal thing. Land Cruisers or Cherokees might be good.
