This is the kit all i have to work out now is the best way to mount it so that it can withstand motorway speeds when folded out during driving

im also thinking i may well wire it into the alarm system that way when ever i unlock the car it will fold out and when i re lock the car it will fold away thus never forgetting to display the plate and staying legal. of course at shows ill need an override switch to fold it away when un locked for photo purposes...
So what are your views ....
Ok so i have got one of the remote folding number plate kits for the 350z as the front of the car looks so much sexier without a plate on it

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:Looks great mate. I love it. Though not sure about having it fold up with the alarm set (as cool as that is!) Is it not a legal requirement to display both plates when parked on a road or public car park?
ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:if it is then i may well have it wired in on the remote....
yeah not exactly sure maybe Ormi could ask his wife what the rules are on it for me pretty please lol

I'm pretty sure the same rules apply when you are parked on a road as when you are driving on one? Two plates visible at all times. You must also have a valid tax disk, insurance, MOT and legal tyre tread etc. even if you are not in motion! So the (cool as hell) flip down can probably only be (legally) used when on private land, I would imagine.

28-10-2018, 02:49 AM #9The law is as Stoney has said. The only reason I got one was its the easiest way to put a numberplate onto a car that isn't designed to have one. However at shows it will look good with it flipped away.
