hey i live in New york, are you allowed to have 2 license plates on the front bumper of your w204? can one put a german plate that has expired, and also put a new york plate? the ny plate is not blocked and you can clearly see it. is it allowed? thanks
heres a photo of the plates on an e36 bmw

Couldn't say if it is legal or not. I have seen cars here on LI with novelty plates as well as their real plates. I don't like the look myself a bit cluttered.

just tell the cops that extra number is your residential development parking permit...

as long as your state plate is clearly visible..

I am thinking of running all the state plates on my car, that way i do not have to have a passport when i travel out of state.

I think it looks cluttered to have more than one plate on the front of your car. it is bad enough having to even place a front plate.

Hmm. I decided to leave it off entirely and after 10 months no cop has noticed. Or cared.

Of course, my car isn't white.

you will never last a min with that in NYC, we have a whole traffic divison that is dedicated to do parking violations, inspection expiration, etc...

in some state front license plate isn't even required.

orie

don't do it. it's tacky

cjh.

I get to be front plate-free here in Indy.

I used to live in Illinois and would just have a broken front plate bracket in my trunk, that way if I got pulled over I could just tell the cop that it broke and I was planning on fixing it soon.

Here in Cali the dealer had me sign a waiver saying I didn't want them to install the front plate bracket on my car, it was pretty standard thing apparently.

here it is a ticket riding without a front plate.

heres a better photoshop on the w204:



so whats the verdict based on the photo: legal or illegal in NYC?

Ron Jr

I don't see where it would be ilegal. I just don't like the look myself a bit cluttered.

no cop has ever noticed any of my lack of front plates on my cars

I have 2 white cars and a black car

i think color is not related to noticing what plates you have on or off...

what matters is location... some places enforce (ie LAX), some dont give a @#$@

just my opinion, but it's too much. Hell, most are trying to remove plates and here you are trying to add plates :p

when i was in college i had the front of my car bumper hit by some idiot so it slashed through the plastic and broke the plate mount off.

so i put the plate in the windshield temporarily and parked on the street one day. i got a ticket anyway. CA is awesome like that.

Keep in mind I didn't read the replies, but to answer your question if it hasn't been, yes you can. Most people tend to put the euro plate where it should be and the state id plate on top of it so the euro plate sticks out on either side behind the state id plate.

Two plates will not look good.

i say no on the double plates as well. it kind of has that bumper sticker effect where it just doesnt belong.

Normandie4life
