Numbers are not road legal in this case.
If you do run with it, you will need to put a cross through it. Most people use insulation tape.

Can you clarify your statement here?? I was unaware that numbers were not legal... Why not?

Cheers

No, race numbers are definately NOT legal on a car used on the road, unless (as previously said) they are crossed through with tape!

No because they are taking part in a recognised competition. As soon as the rally is over, numbers have to be removed, or crossed out. If not, and the competitor gets spotted, they can have their comp licence taken off them. Road rally competitors are not allowed large numbers on their cars - it's seen as road racing by plod if they do - which is obviously illegal.

I didn't think it was illegal to have a number on your car.

I thought the thing was that if you are a competitor, eg sprinter then you shouldn't have your race number on your car on the road and you can get kicked out of the MSA or whoever.

But if you're not a competitor then it doesn't matter?

So whats the difference between a race number and an ordinary number? Colour, background, shape, size?

I'll go with Ginger on this one.......

As far as I know this is the correct explanation - they are road legal, but the MSA do not allow you to use a car on teh road with race numbers fitted, and would presumably penalise you through the licence system if found to do so.

Hi,

Personally, I really like the look with the number.

I'm gonna have a number on each side on my ali panels in a round circle and won't be putting a cross though them either.

See if your other half likes them as women are often good with asthetics.

Just my opinion of course.

Pat...
