A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Don't think there's any points, but fine up to €1500, afair.

    Jebus, that much. The plates would have to be fairly illegible for you to actually get the fine though.

    I've German plates on the van, with the IRL and Irish tags on them. they look better than the stockers, mostly because there aren't a pair of extra dots covering the mounting screws.

    I'll be adding the Stadt seals for the next show, but I wouldn't drive day to day with them.

    Had to google what stadt seals were. Now I know.

    They look pretty authentic all right. Can't say the guards would like to see them though.

    Unrelated question (kinda) - is it the law that Irish cars have to have the IRL and Euro symbol? If so, how come the Brits don't have to? I mean, some UK cars have the GB and Euro symbol on their plates, but the vast majority do not.

    I wouldn't say the size of the fine is based on how illegible your plates are (they might not be illegible at all), but more on how the particular judge is feeling on the day.

    Not your ornery onager

    They became mandatory here in 1991, but in the UK they are only optional.

    Anyone have the small sized oblong number plates? I have a large square one at the mo which covers the front grill.

    Just wondering where I could get my hands on these small ones? (google search hasnt brought much up) :confused:

    There is a big clamp down on dodgy plates over the last two years and its all got to do with A*PR legibility. I got pulled over on a bike with a custom plate and was given 10 days to have it changed with a standard one or face e1000 fine, I know heaps of others that have got cautioned.
