Number Plate Position

[Rocky88]

what are legal positions for front number plate? after getting my car resprayed i want to mount front number plate on the side but dont know which side?

i already had cops trying to defect me for number plate angle and only 2 screws coz they couldnt find anything else, so i wanna be sure before i drill any holes in freshly sprayed front bar.

i dunno whats legal but i have mine mounted on the left and ive had many cops look at my car and not say anything about it

i think its got to be about 100mm off the ground to be legal or something , might have to call regency up mate

[bezender]

300mm from the ground, and forward facing (ie. no angle) afaik.

i want to know this too, called regency twice, 2 different answers.

useless

[bezender]

just pop it in the middle at the same height as the reo bar. they cant fault you for that

but what if i want it on the side?

[bezender]

put it on the side then

mine is on the side. just make sure its at least 300mm from the ground, and faces forward. i have never been hasseled about mine that sits like that.

which side?

[bezender]

passenger side. only reason i chose that side is a lot of cars that come from the factory with offset plates, have em on that side (ie alpha romeo).

dont think they are to fussed on which side they are on. but it would make sense to have them on the drives side though, that way on-coming traffic can see it with ease

OK..

i was pulled up by a cop at a car park on one of kell's cruises,

i had it on the passenger side, right down the bottom of the bar.

she didnt mind it being on the side, or on an angle, but said it had to be ATLEAST 30cm off the ground.

first hand info right there.

I'm not sure about the ruling in SA, but in Vic it must be legible when viewed from a 45-degree angle from either side of the car.

Just buy one of these offset number plate brackets

[Moodles2]

I've got a cusco offset bracket coming in the mail, think it was $63 delivered, the cheapest I could find which was greenline or perfectrun i've forgotten.

Its about 20 degrees maximum in the official transport SA guidelines but like craig said, they're more concerned about visibility and height - I've never had any issues with my plate, it went thru regency fine with the relocation kit and that has around a 10 degree angle
