4C numberplate placement

[jamesbilluk]

Hi all

Picked up my first Alfa Romeo today, a 4C spider, absolutely thrillled with it

The dealership said the car looks much better with out the plate, and supplied it in the boot!

It does look great, but concerned I may be pulled over,

Just wondering how folks have attached the front plates? Or if there could be group with the police if I’m stopped without the plate on

I made up a small one. Never had any issues or been pulled. Without front plate you risk a £100 fine. Ive had a few people get one, but not many.

Many thanks, may well do that then.

We managed 2 years 6 months before we got pulled. I have a small sticker plate to go on before the next time I use it. Some fix small plates in the lower grill too.

4.5 years combined ownership of 2 4c’s front plate in the boot unless I go abroad, I have a smaller plate fir abroad 305x75 which goes on the bumper with double sided tape. Been stopped once and n the uk, just had a chat and he actually agreed it’s hard to fit a plate. The penalty is £100 and no points, if you are repeatedly caught I understand it’s more serious , I’ve heard attempting to pervert the course of Justice is a possible charge . I would advise varying the plate and some double sided tape and see what happens, it’s rare to see a pooliceman these days anyway

An alternative experience is as follows -

Dealer had fitted a very small plate to the front grill. I'd had the car for 3 whole weeks.


A policeman followed me for about 45 minutes in very heavy traffic (Saturday before Xmas), before pulling me over and giving me a ticket. No failure of any attitude test - he was straight into writing out the ticket - no discussion, no chat, no mister nice guy.


I now have a normal size plate, cut down as far as is legal, attached to the front grill using cable ties.

My car didn’t have a plate on when I picked it up, but decided I’d fit one.
Bought a small plate and made my own bracket.

Two short pieces of flat aluminium and a tube of Tigerseal - glue the metal to the grill, let dry.
Apply number plate with sticky pads
Easy.
