UK rear bumper vs import rear bumper

[Dblock]

Unfortunately square doesnt work for my plate!

 

You have only got 5 letters on your plate? Mine is 5 letters and is on one line legally spaced and BS marked to.

 

Sorry if I'm being dense here but doesn't that then defeat the purpose of a square plate if it's all on one line?

 

No because its still square?

I prefer the look of the square though mines an import with UK bumpers! maybe a square for the front?

I guess we should call them squarer plates as they are nowhere near square in reality . While I was researching the legality of these plates I came upon a law that says all cars that can support a U.K plate should have them fitted, in other words fitting an aftermarket bumper with a square holder is in fact an offence. I found several threads on various car forums where people got a £60 fixed penalty, even on JDM imports as some JDM models will actually take a U.K number plate. Here's an example, this guy was fined £60 and told to put U.K style plates on. How stupid .

I had front and rear square plates and no one said anything?

Nobody is going to stop you for having an aftermarket rear bumper. They will however stop you if you have a rectangular cut out for a UK plate, but you choose to stick a rectangular one on instead.
