hey guys i just wanted to know tht whether the no. plate on my honda is legal or not

yest a mamu caught me and said its not allowed

sob took away a 100 from me saying the muffler is illegal, no plate is not rite.

i have seen this on many cars

and also i cannot fit a steel or ceramic one on my car

Yes, those are illegal.Only because they are small,the one on the ikon is legal.
I too have seen many different kinds of plate and they say only certain types are allowed.
You can ask rio to fabricate something for you,which doesnt require drilling your kit.

Do you have a turbo??
If no I think something can be done on the mesh grill!!!

no yaar. the grill is for cold air intake

actually i rev my car sooo much i need lots of cold air to cool the engine and some air for the big k&n also

i asked rio for the no. plate.

he said this can only be fitted on to the ohc

Honda dude even I rev the car a lot but I don't think you need that BIG a grill and that much more amount of air. What you can do to avoid getting stopped again is to get a bigger plate like the one on the Ikon mounted via two screws on the exact same place that the current one is mounted on. It will hang down a bit and won't look that good but it will be road legal. Basic issue depends on whether you prefer illegal for looks or legality for a slightly less elegant look.

I think Autopsyche too fixes similar plates on all his modded cars......I think the size of plate is illegal not the font....

OT:
Nice rims on the Honda...!!!!

No kpzen the font is also illegal as it is too small to be readable from a distance.

a4_attitude · 24th May 2006, 13:28

best idea is to have front plate a normal one and can for a smaller design from back as small chracters from front attract mama's....
hehehe

Your plates are illegal. The RTO insists on the following specs for cars 65mm ht, 10mm thick and 10mm gap between letters in block letters in English and arabic numerals only.

SRK · 24th May 2006, 19:15

Honda dude get a square one made and get it on one side of your grill .
Like we have on wagon r.

autopsyche · 24th May 2006, 22:48

According to the regulations the letters need to be atleast 2" in height, any smaller and it becomes illegal as in your case. I use 1.25 in the front and 1.5" in the rear though... heh!

vivekiny2k · 24th May 2006, 22:57

not sure, but i think you cud a little bigger font on the same plate. is it less than 2"?

X-Machine · 25th May 2006, 01:40

It it legal, only if the no. is visible clearly from a distance. Like everyone said, it should be 2" minimum. Ive had such no. plates on my cars since 3 years now. Absolutely no problem,whatsoever.

Delhi rocks. Lotsa ppl with fancy number plates. But generally they are not stopped.

OT.
To make his number plates unreadable.. my friend has hung a sort of black rope kinda thingy(that people put for good luck) right over his plates.
and u cant see 2 letters on the plate... It avoids red light challans as he says.

Disclaimer- i do not support illegal plates, obstructed plates and No plates at all wala concept ;-)
