Washington has had the Collector designation around for many decades, not recent at all. Based on the rules, WSP doesn't have to look very hard to deny waivers since almost all cars leave the factory with a front mount available from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, aesthetics is not considered a valid reason for a waiver.
-
When asking for a waiver, the first thing WSP checks is if the manufacturer has a front mount available. You should be pretty safe on this. As for the back plate, I used body side moulding tape. I left a small gap at the corners so any water that gets in can drain out. Works great.
-
In theory front plates are required on all non-exempt cars in WA. Luckily, Caterhams are one of the very few that have been granted. The unofficial list: https://forums.tesla.com/discussion/146122/front-plate-exception-washington

Big disagree. I switched from stainless to carbon fibre and the weight savings is (almost) measurable. It definitely adds light(hearted)ness.

Until this, I didn't even realize that our forum had a Politics section. -

I believe we have a winner. Can now close this thread and get back to the things we have in common. -
Great news.

Here's proof that you can take a Caterham on a Costco run without any problem. You just have to be careful about how many gift cards are involved

Adding more congratulations to you. You'll have no regrets with this choice. Can't wait to see you on the road this spring. -
Welcome to the light side. You're very right about the surprising comfort of a CSR. Enjoy.

So, tell us a little about yourselves

Welcome to the Seattle area Caterham community. We have an enthusiastic loose knit group that seems vaguely centered through Beachman Racing. We look forward to hearing the progress of your new 7. And, of course, meeting you. -
Does Florida have a "Kit Car", "Home Built" or "Replica" designation available?
-
Welcome to the Seattle area group. Several very good and knowledgeable people here. Details on what you ordered?

Pokey - It looks like you may be saved by the Equipment Checklist beginning on page 3 of Kit Vehicle Inspection Guide. Print that off and bring it with you to your next appointment. I know there have been some changes at the Bellevue WSP inspection lanes, but over the years they have seen a few Caterhams. Should have a little familiarity. Also, due to recent WAC interpretations, Collector Plates are no longer issued for replica or kit cars.
-
That's a great idea, telling a cop how to do their job. Now everyone else in the state can have their cars registrations' revoked, reclassified and then reinspected. Every state has different requirements. Washington's have "evolved" over the last few years.
-
Tough decision, but ultimately the right one.
-
Also a reminder that this is a kit https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=46.12.695

You might want to consider cancelling your appointment and rescheduling for a different location with a different inspector.

Safer too.
-
Regardless of what you have spent, it's healthier than booze and cheaper than another woman. Probably safer too.
-
Make life easy on yourself and have Beachman Racing set up your alignment. You're close by and he's been through it a few times.
-
Welcome to the Caterham circus. Once you enter, there is no going back. Or any reason to.
-
Perfect weather for the inaugural drive. Let us know when you're ready for some company.
