I believe it's wherever the manufacturer has provided location for the plate to be placed, or wherever is furthest forward on the front.
So can't be in the windscreen or anything like that as the ANPR cameras won't be able to read them properly. That was a nightmare when I had my Alfa with the plate stuck on the left side.

I don't know how much these are really enforced though as pretty much every day on my way home from work I see a black Audi with its number plate in the passenger side, I can't even read it properly with the angle it's facing. He must have never been pulled over, maybe he just sticks it back in its normal place for MOTs then moves it afterwards.

Yes I agree thats what I have see as well, lots of motors with numberplate on the side wrapping round the bumper.
Thats why I am going to talk to MOT Guys and see what they say, I have done nothing yet just fancy moving it but dont want hassle from the boys in blue.

From memory, a stick on plate will not pass MOT as they are not made from the correct BS reflective material.
I run a shortened front plate, so that it does not overhang the grille. Looks much smarter (I have it on velcro coins so just swap to a regular plate for MOT).
