Has anyone seen this? Any where you can get hold of one in the UK?

I think its pretty cool.

Seeing as we have to display plates at the front at all times unlike parts of the US, I doubt it's available in the UK.

It is kind of 007 cool though!

AdamC · 03-15-2013, 04:05 AM

It is so cool. Sure this guy is on the forum, one sexy M5.

Jat · 03-15-2013, 05:59 AM

Westside had one of these installed for a while.

JackR · 03-15-2013, 06:45 AM

Now that is smart!! Although as said we've got to display them all the time, which would probably result in being pulled over way to often!

Meshyo · 03-15-2013, 06:45 AM

A flip plate would be awesome!!

Drrncour · 03-15-2013, 07:06 AM

Quite a few of the audi drivers had this. Pulled over 1 to many times. Great for shows, meets ect however.

Ajerthan · 03-15-2013, 07:54 AM

Do they have to be on display even whilst parked?

If parked on a public highway yes, not if on private property.

i want one this is awsome

Ajerthan · 03-15-2013, 12:37 PM

Im sure the chances are slim of getting caught when parked etc. Its like driving with small plates on cars.

blackrabbit · 03-15-2013, 12:51 PM

I seem to recall that this kind of thing is illegal in the UK. I remember something about a guy who had a device that could change his plates which was considered as an attempt to avoid the police or cameras registering his vehicle, hence perverting the course of justice..........Maybe one ob the BIB could comment?

Dizzle · 03-15-2013, 01:59 PM

Illegal maybe, very cool none the less.

A_P · 03-15-2013, 02:21 PM

I dunno. I think the concept is cool definitely.

But the execution like Chinese/Taiwanese.

No offense to anyone from those countries and the food is lovely.

I've got one in garage but not fitted yet. Had to import from states. Couldn't find in uk.

Will only retract for pics/ shows. It comes with remote.

eBay 'retractable plate' and will find you the sites/ links ( search worldwide though) All seem to be same kit. Â£120 delivered and then any import duty you get stung on.

Can't comment on quality yet. Will fit in next couple of weeks.
