Hey Everyone, I'm thinking of putting the front plate filler in my B8 A4 b/c of the more aggressive look it gives, but I know in Colorado it is the law to have your license plate displayed on the front and back. Has anyone had any issues with this in the past? Ever been stopped by the police and they say something about it? Any thoughts about the filler, etc. are appreciated. Thanks Reply With Quote   boomdizzle View Profile View Forum Posts View Blog Entries View Articles Active Member Two Rings Join Date Jun 08 2008 AZ Member # 29674 Location Denver, CO My Classifieds: 0 I'm pretty certain that in the State of Colorado not having a front license plate is considered a primary offense. Which basically means (if I understand the law correctly) they can stop you for that reason alone. Don't quote me on that. Someone else here might have more expertise on this issue. I know parking on the streets in downtown Denver without a front plate can land you a pricey ticket with the meter maids. I know several members here can comment on that. I have read/heard the quick fix to avoid the parking tickets that is to place your plate on your dash when your away. However, I wouldn't advise driving with the plate on your dash unless you're trying to decapitate yourself or front passenger in the event of a serious accident. I had no problems at all running no front plate in California for 5+ years. CSP pulled me over coming in from New Mexico for running no front plate about a year ago (Not speeding either). No problems with the CSP since then. In addition to CSP, I have heard Nebraska State Patrol is notoriously strict on the no front plate issue as well. Local Metro PD has given me no problems so far (knock on wood) and I know they see me all of the time. Last edited by boomdizzle; Today at 04:59 PM.

Had to be here or on one of the local threads, but here is the petition that has been going around to repeal the front plate requirement in Colorado. http://www.petitiononline.com/coplate/petition.html Reply With Quote   Bsix3.0 View Profile View Forum Posts View Blog Entries View Articles Senior Member Four Rings Join Date Feb 08 2009 AZ Member # 38444 My Garage lots of bicycles..

I used to run the filler plate and leave my license plate on the dash, but still got tickets for not having them "properly displayed." Its a dumb law I'll tell you that. I even got pulled over at 11pm one night because I "had no front plate." With no front plate tickets at $75 a pop now, I just leave my front on.
