Did you try unzipping your top like the chicks in the lambo on The Cannonball Run :lol:

I've been stopped three times now - Twice got a telling off and the third time I had to get my plates checked at an MOT station. No fine though.

I've now changed my back plate to a legal one as I can't be doing with the hassle. The front one is still black but they never seem to0 bothered about that.

EDIT - Just found out that one of the chicks in the Lambo was in fact Catherine Bach who plays Daisy Duke - I never new that.

Just had an mot nightmare

have smaller plate on the front compies with 14a but tester said I could have a full size plate on the bumper or even inbetween the fog lights - no reason for not displaying full size plates etc

would not accept road traffic act, said that vosa manual was the bible and RTA was irrelent. I could be the man from the ministry etc

what works in these situations ? apart from going and buying a full size plate
