I have heard this also, i do not know how much truth there is to it, but one of my reloes had a mx5 with no front plates, and i was like wtf, and they insisted they didnt come out with them because there was no where to put them, i was just like, yes ok...

Im sure you can get away with it, but you can also get fined on it. Ring up ur local tmu a few times, and i betya u get a few different answers regarding to it :P

just put it on, what harm is it doing?

You rnumber plate is to be fitted to the centre of your front bar.... Fitting to the side is as illegal as not having one at all...

It must be perfectlly visable from a 60 degree angle at 20 metres...

I did my research the other day...

Last time i checked the front numberplate could be mounted on the side but must still conform with the angle and distance rule thingo.

When did you check?

I never had a problem with it being on the side

As long as it is viewable as above standards you will not be booked. But you can never tell if the officer that pulled u up is in a good mood or not...

I have never had a problem with mine being side mounted either. But a friend of mine had her plate zip tied to her front mesh, and when she drove it folded up so you couldnt see it, and she got pulled over, and told to fix it or cop a defect. I think it depends on the officer you get too, but if they are in a bad mood they will do you for anything.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
