"Didn't you get this in reverse ?\n \n\n\n\tIf the vehicle is Sri or before the front nuber plate can be black with yellow background. a white on black  when the dash came all vehicles moved to a black lettering on yellow back setup. For a brief period the front also became the same and then went back to the white letters on black setup. Then when the letters came the rear kept the black on yellow scheme and the front went to a black on white scheme. I beleive the only exception were the pre-Sri cars.\n \n\n\n\tAs for your fine back in the day..it could have been the yellow being on the front and the black in the back....like i said..there was a time when the - was introduced the RMV made a mess out of the front plate (both being black on yellow) and then reverting back to white on black which messed up a lot of people.  \n \n\n\n\tAs for the OP's question....sadly it is highly unlikely that you will be allowed to have the number plate sideways (SLP's logic being that the nuber plae should be clearly visible from front). Know people who got pulled over for having their number painted on to the bonnet of the car (charge being that the number is not clearly visible as it is facing upwards)\n \n"
