Possibly in case insurance companies browse the site and spy customers cars with undeclared mods? I couldn't be bothered to do it on my pic tho.

It has been known for people to start receiving speeding/parking/congestion tickets from cars similar to theirs wearing cloned number plates.

I blank mine off so the location of the car is kept / registered can't be traced.

You never know who is out there on the tinternet !!

LOL elmer....

I don't blank mine coz it's cool plus I don't think there is another car that looks remotely similar so I won't be receiving others parking tickets

I blanked mine 'cos everyone else does!


If I'd been clever with photoshop I would fake a decent private plate. But I'm not. So I didn't.

It's so nosey people can't see them, makes them ask questions about why they blank there plates..... only kidding mate.

As said before its so no one can surf the net and clone the plates, people/pedestrians won't see the plates in slough if the car is in the highlands and vice versa....


Constant rambling....must not post when ive had a few....
