Sticker License Plate
-
Nowadays I see more and more such sticker license plates on Singapore cars. They actually got it made at Ubi if I'm not wrong. Isnt' this illegal?
Just curious

Well, it'll be silly to have large intercooler only to have a licence plate block it.

Is this illegal because I heard it is. What will happen to these car owners if they are caught?Originally posted by ditzy:Well, it'll be silly to have large intercooler only to have a licence plate block it.

acutally i don't think it's illegal. as long as the number plate is visable and has no funny pictures of wordings on it, it's alright. but it's better to confirm with the tp/lta.
never heard any fines/complains from owners whose cars are running on euro plates. -
This is a grey area. Mine has the exact fonts and is reflective. Even the ROV officers have differing views. One stated I must have 2 screws, of course he got screwed instead as the LTA website does not say so. The other just let me go.

I don't think sticker type is legal. Better check with LTA. Especially at the front part of motorcycle. Even those licence plate with a coat of shinny material, it is illegal too. LTA has certain guideline and standard on lience plate. One day, could be fined for using sub-standard licence plate...

sticker?? wah. not seen before yet... i keep seeing cars with their plates on the left side of front though.
edit:
I just noticed THOSE at the sides are stickers. 
-
its not illegal.. ive been stopped by TP roadblocks b4 and no problem with them..
LTA web-site did not mention in "modifications that are not allowed" section.. -
Yes, its illegal, sometime TP also do not bother to summom you, if you are using sticker type of licence plate on motorcycle, they might just advise you to get it changed or even don't notice it. Some time, LTA officers will be attached to TP road block, then you might not able to get away with it.

Most evo and rexes and other cars installed with intercoolers have this sticker license plate at the font bumper.

it's considered illegal no matter your font is the same size as your original font, or bigger than your original font size.Originally posted by kentheman:so long the font is the same as the original number plate, it is not considered illegal.

If you are caught, they will ask you to change back and report back for inspection. Or worse, they will fine you and then ask you to change back and go back for inspection.
it's very true, the reason you change to sticker number plate is not to obstruct airflow to the intercooler, other than that, nothing much. Some just think it's cool and also go and change...
Think now there's a lot of poser around, driving lancer and mod to look like evo, or driving impreza,and change bonnet to look like rex. Haiz, for wat?? it still run like a normal car, it wont make your car run on steroids if you change their kit or bonnet, nor will it make you look cool on a fake evo or rex right? It will make you look stupid...

I had the same question and wrote to LTA. Following was the reply:Originally posted by musicbox: Maybe we should check with the traffic police department about it. haha
Dear XXX,
VEHICLE LICENCE PLATE
FEEDBACK NUMBER: 328292
Thank you for your enquiry of 02-FEB-2006.
2. We wish to inform you that licence plates used for vehicles registered in Singapore should comply with the requirements specified in the Road Traffic (Motor Vehicles, Registration and Licensing) Rules. The vehicle licence plates must be so fixed that it remains easily distinguishable at all times. The vehicle licence plates must comply with our technical requirements and specifications such as colour schemes, height/width of characters, margins, typeface, etc.
3. Generally, we do not allow owners to affix the sticker type licence plates on their vehicles. We would only consider the use of such sticker-type licence plates if a vehicle does not have adequate space or a suitable location for affixing a conventional licence plate (i.e. those with base materials made of aluminium or acrylic).
4. If you require more specific advice on the use of sticker type licence plate on your vehicle, you may provide us with details (including pictures or photographs) on the size and colour scheme of the licence plate, and the proposed location of the licence plate to the Vehicle Engineering Division of LTA at 10 Sin Ming Drive, Singapore 575701.
Yours sincerely,
(SIGNED IN LOTUS NOTES)

I thought there's a company / shop called embossed or something, doing Car Plates as well? Those LTA approved already.

I saw a evo last friday at kallang mac. The sticker licence plate is stuck onto the front lip of the car, facing upwards. If like that also can, I'll go and put mine facing down so nobody can see it.. Haha

The best part is the sticker shop is just opposite TP HQ!
They also tint the brake light there!
