Mini or sidemount depends on how legal you want to be. :wink:
Been having thoughts of changing mine to side mount recently. You can have my old sticky one if you want. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Seriously though i had a full size sticky and didn't really like it, mini is nice but not very legal. (nor is any sticky as its not reflective!)
Sidemount ftw!!!!11

Have a look here for more examples
http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php? ... =sidemount

Get a mount from autolink
http://www.boundville.co.uk/number-plat ... -773-p.asp
or make your own its only a couple if bits of metal.
And make sure you get the right size plate as to big looks silly imo. 8x6" is about right.

Sticky plates

Postby robmx5 » Tue, 20 May 2008 10:46 +0000

As far as I know the sticky plates mounted at the angle (facing up) are nearly impossible for a speed camera to read - but have'nt tried it personally
