there are lots of restrictions on when you can use them, however nearly every Grey import will have to have them, as they are standard in Japan (however they don't have fog lights, so you have to add that to car)

rules say something like "only where provision is not made for standard number plate"

edit........................

just had a quick look, can't find anything specific banning 2 line number plates on any car, however maybe worth asking B4 doing, and lettering has to be same size as standard to be legal

Theres a difference between an "Import" plate and a square plate.

Either on the front of a Volvo?....no. Don't do it.

Leave that to Civic drivers.
