    I hate my front number plate.. Anyone drive without it?
    Or I'd there a better way to mount it?

    Still illegal, technically.

    Driving without it would be asking for trouble IMO

    Yes, of course you are right.

    But I do see them from time to time.

    I perhaps foolishly think that you won't get pulled over and hassled if you're just going about your daily business. Of course I'm in a Toyota Camry during the day. ;)

    Points and a fine, I wouldn't risk it. Especially not in an exotic.

    $300 and 3 points in NSW on the Tweed, thanks you bunch of ****s

    And when queried the enforcement tart said it was a very, very, very serious CRIME :rolleyes:

    Of course that rust bucket towing an over-weight boat on an underbraked trailer is fine :rolleyes:

    I lost my front numberplate on the drive from Brisbane to Melbourne.
    On arrival in Melbs, got pulled over the first weekend. Told the cops I lost it, they put it in the system and gave me 14 days to replace it. No fine.
    If you feel like replacing your numberplate from time to time, try doing the same thing.

    I run a front sticker, been pulled over once by VIC police and no issues. It is reflective though if that helps.

    He lives on the good coast. They were probably stolen and put on eBay.

    I never realised that. Why wouldn't they just blank off the holes?
    Must add some drag, surely?

    They are blanked off...or used to pipe air to an oil cooler in some of them.

    At the speed Moretti drives, drag isn't a problem, unless he's dressed in it.
