French number plates
Morning all,
I completed the import paperwork for my car recently and so it has a new French registration number. Now I need to buy it some new french plates. Does anybody know where I can get plates done with a rounded rear plate suitable for a 75? Demon plates said they didn't know the rules for France. The plates on my wife's car which I bought 8 years ago have the skinny font I associate with France while I noticed my sons car which was plated a few months back uses a more robust font which to me looks like the same type face used on a UK plate. Anyway it would be better to keep the gendarmes away so I would prefer to minimise risk and buy a plate in France guaranteed homologué Rgds Adam |

This would be useful information as I plan to move to the South of France in 2018.

What if you mount the plate on a Rover shaped white piece of perspex?

Can you post a picture of how your back number plate looks, as the question will arise for me in the very near future, having just brought back into France a handsome Connoisseur SE 2.5 V6... TIA, Leachim |

Sorry but I don't have a pic of it at the moment.
I'm not really keen on how it looks but it complies with the legal requirements. I had a smilie plate made up by a French plate maker. Looked OK. Then what was needed on the plate was changed by the French government so I just riveted a standard size plate to the middle of it. Have been thinking about the latest info printed on to a French smilie plate. It will have all the info required but will seem as though it's on a large white background. Just like if a std plate was on a white car. Will have to make some enquiries of the local Gendarmes. |
