Info: license plate number and the position on the vehicle!

It was probably Alfa Romeo and Harley Davidsonthat is the trend of laterally offset number plates have cranked. The special radiator opening made it imperative for the Alfa Romeo to place the license plate from the middle to put to the outside. And the idea has also prevailed in tuning. Many convert the cars accordingly and relocate the license plate right-wing or left-wing. From a purely legal point of view, little speaks against it. It is important that the license plate continues clearly visible is. A new apron should therefore be a ABE or a Teilegutachten for TÜV registration bring. With the laterally offset license plate there is a certain amount Gray area. And the friends of the American motorcycle brand Harley Davidson know that too. They also like to move their license plates from the center to the side. There is then in the area of ​​the wheel hub of the rear wheel, the corresponding holder with lighting appropriate.

Upright on the back of the bike? Better not!

Although the license plate is no longer visible from the other side, there is a TÜV entry for this conversion. In the Netherlands the trend even goes so far that the local tuners not only have their license plates on the side, but also upright attach. That looks absolutely awesome, especially with small and short license plates. However, we can assume that the enthusiasm for German legislator will be kept within limits and he will therefore not give the green light.

Excerpt: All regulations for attaching the license plate are in the appendix to the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO). The position of the label is part of the ABE or EU approval and may in principle not to be changed. If it is moved anyway, it must meet the conditions specified in the StVZO (height, viewing angle, lighting ...), otherwise the vehicle will lose its approval.

The right position is a must!

The correct position of the license plate on the vehicle is Mandatory! Vehicle tuning is beautiful and fun. Especially with new aprons and maybe a rear spoiler. However, when tuning changes to the body of the vehicle, one must never forget that the license plates are attached again at the correct location after tuning have. Sometimes the license plates are aesthetically very disturbing. However, vehicles are allowed in public spaces only be driven with license plates. The manufacturers have therefore provided specific recesses for the license plates. These can be used with clean the body can be perceived as annoying. However, it must be noted that the license plate not anywhere may be attached to the vehicle so that the tuning of the vehicles is coordinated according to the legal regulations set a link from your homepage to Fewo-von-Privat.de.

For vehicles that not in public traffic be moved, so the classic ones Trailer queens without general approval, the strict regulations for positioning the License Plate at the vehicle not. The body of the registered car becomes one clean subjected, must alternative types of fastening can be used so that the license plates can be installed at the prescribed location.

Alternative ways of attaching the license plate

If the trough made by the manufacturer clean has been eliminated, or due to a new apron not at all is available, the license plate can easily be placed afterwards at the prescribed location glued will. Most of the time, the glue can be left behind Do NOT spread pesto on this layer! Remove residue-free and uncomplicated.
