Volvobrick Supersonic July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 No difference. Why bother to change? With frame you can remove and clean the plate (and behind it) properly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be quite young. Before 2000s, most license plates were all frameless, even plates mounted by official ADs. Basically 1 piece of glossy clear acrylic where the silver letters were spray painted on the back before spraying on the layer of black background. They were mounted directly using bolts, so you can see 2 bolt heads on the plate. So confirm legal, as long as the letter size/font/color meet the LTA regulations. Recent decade moved to framed I think is due to - can conceal the 2 (ugly) bolt heads - The frame can print all the messages advertising who sold the car etc 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more of the font and size of the plate and as long not reflective usually ok. The workshop providing should be able to advise u which is legal which is not.

kurrent 1st Gear July 24, 2021 Author Share July 24, 2021 @t0y0ta haha i know its legal if there is bolt onto the frameless carplate. What i meant is using frameless kit as shown in the photo or using double sided tape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurrent 1st Gear July 24, 2021 Author Share July 24, 2021 @Dafansu Those workshop most said using double sided tape is technically illegal. How did you mount your previous car carplate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurrent 1st Gear July 24, 2021 Author Share July 24, 2021 @kobayashiGT hahaha. I find frameless nicer and more sleek. Personal preference. Saw quite a few frameless carplates on the street. Was wondering whether is it legal. I saw some car review, the guy mentioned that the car doesnt need front carplate in the states. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct3833 Supersonic July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 Not sure if this article is valid. .......All vehicles have to be fitted with the appropriate mounting brackets for both the front and rear car plates. Vehicle owners are expected to mount their licence plates securely and permanently at the position identified by their vehicles' manufacturer..... https://m.sgcarmart.com/articles/articleinfo.php?CT=a&AID=339 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once asked Flatee in their IG pages on whether is their product legal in SG and their answer is yes. So maybe can revert back to them if kena fined. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks crystallized finish on a black car plate. Pictures? Easier to understand. anyway the statutes only say the plate must be secured properly. It never say must use screws. If double side tape is strong enough I don’t see why not. same with the bloody IU. I’m sure the plastic plate is lighter than the IU anytime. worse case is just cut off the tops of the screw and then glue it on the plate to make it look like secured by screws.
