Well didn't I go and damge my number plate plinth today.........

So its got me thinking, after I fill the holes left in the bumper, what will i do, a sticker on the bonnet or a trendy side mounted plate like the one below.... Whats the verdict.

Mini or sidemount depends on how legal you want to be.
Been having thoughts of changing mine to side mount recently. You can have my old sticky one if you want.
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

because I'm lazy ash! where can ye get them brackets?

EDIT: k i found it, a bit pricey though.
£32 sterling incl shipping....

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.

found a cad drawing of a side mounted reg bracket, here.

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
