I had one on me 'blade a few years back, just cos it was cool!!
useless though... it wasn't waterproof... water got in the case and buggered up the electrics.

Too late.... seen it.
Non legal so a £30 fixed penalty and an MOT fail these days if the testing station is going by the book.
TBH having a flip plate is more likely to get you stopped than an undersize one... it kinda gives out a message if you get my drift.
:rolleyes:

call me a boring engineer, but would it not be better for it to flip up, and just let the passing air flow lift the plate into a horizontal position rather than muck about with electrics etc. All you would need is a light enough plate and an easy going hinge

As an MOT tester i fink u will find they ARE legal providing the said no plate is held in a fixed vertical postion and correcty sized and spaced and is unlikely to be misread ie.letters misformed,as far as an MOT is concerned it can be pink with blue writing .However it may be against construction and use witch is a different ball game altogether!!!!

As Dell-boy said a flip up plate would be better.

A flip up/down number does appeal but I can see where the "authorities" are coming from. I'd be interested to know what "legit" reasons you could give to the PD for fitting such a setup, doubles as flan flinger for tailgating motorists???

I thought all new Plates had to be BS marked now to be legit for road use and new ones had the carry the postcode of the company that made them up?

The "for show use" loophole is big enough to get a fully dressed goldwing through though:lol:

Anyone fancy an Aston Martin with revolving plates!!

Sie748, check your testers manual, a flip plate makes the vrm difficult ( impossible when activated ) to read therefore should constitute a fail, if as I posted, the MOT station is going by the book.

Registration marks are not Con & Use, the current legislation they fall under is The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001.

Just take the plate off.. and say Oppp's must have fallen off today at some point
