Import number plate Font size??
by Bandit, 11-09-2017, 05:05 PM
The reason i ask is because I had a policeman tonight measure my number plate font and he says the fonts are too small? and also said that he THINKS? it should have 72mm fonts?
My front number plate fits in the original aperture for an import vehicle, so the plate itself is OK? but from what i've found on the net is that he has quoted me the size for a UK registered vehicle and not an import :confused1:
The funny thing is though, is that while he was talking to me i fitted my old plate back on the car? which he said was fine even though it has the same size font that's already on the car and the same size font as on the rear plate of my car both 64mm fonts? :confused1::confused1:
And if it is 64mm for an import plate is there anything I can get in writing to prove it, so if i get pulled or asked about it in the future i have proof that it is legal?? :confused1:
Thanks for any help guys :thumbup1:
Import number plate Font size??
by Bandit, 11-09-2017, 05:05 PMDoes anybody know what the legal font size is for an imported vehicle number plate? I was always told it was 64mm?? And the plate i had made up was supposedly a legal import plate with legal font sizing?

Lexus 3S200 GTE Build
by FirebirdPhil, 11-09-2017, 09:09 AM
It all started when my Saab 95 Aero HOT's gearbox failed, i wanted a nice new'ish Celica to replace it. I searched for a nice one with the leather spec etc, and found one in Car Giant London. So took the Saab for a last trip and headed to the big smoke ( smoke from the gearbox also!!).
I test drove the Celica but for me it just didn't do it for me so I was about to leave when the sales guy took me to the Lexus area and pointed out a rather nice looking 2005 IS200 SE, full body-kit, leather, satnav, 18" wheels etc everything I wanted really, but high miles. so took it out for a run - remember this is London so 3rd gear is about all we got to. I liked the drive, style and over all the sound of that straight 6 engine!!
On the way home after parting with my cash I had a fun drive and really enjoyed it.
I joined an owners club, made good friends and never looked back!!
This lasted until I really missed the power of the Saab - some 150BHP more and a tubby. So the search for more power was on.
90% of people on here know the score with the IS200, you either do one of the following:
Supercharge it
turbo it
swap the engine for one with guts....
sell it
As just putting in a big exhaust and air filter just doesn't do anything much worth while.
so chatting to a customer of mine he told me of a little known garage that plays with Saabs but had a Supra for breaking - only just in and everything on it for a 2JZ swap, apart from teh 6 speed 'box, the ultimate power hike....................
OK but the IS 'box won't cope with a 2JZ so an alternative route was looked for and this is when Toyota GT stepped in and said for £x they will put one of my favourite engines into my car the 3S-GTE from my favourite 2 seater car the JDM MR2 Turbo. Far more power than a supercharger, for a little bit more money. Pound for pound a good price.
With the promise of 300 BHP to start with and a top figure of up to 500 - 550 BHP with a little more work all good news. More than the Altazza would get to for less than selling the car and buying another one - Just.....
So the deal was done.

Fuel cards
by parthiban, 10-09-2017, 07:56 AMCan you have a fuel card as an individual? And are discounts worthwhile or are they so small it would only benefit a large fleet?
