Does that mean i can remove my headlamps in the day to drive around, lol......
You have to have a legal number plate displayed at anytime whilst driving on a public highway or you are liable to be prosecuted.....
A number plate is reflective, therefore it is illuminated of a night if and when a light reclects of it......

You could also think of a check list for an MOT ?
Like scooby was kidding about the front lights, just because you dont use them you still need them?
With out a front / rear number plate you wont pass an MOT,
So you could use that as a guide then look up the law if your still unsure.
But paz may have a bit more info on sticky plates?
And dont forget that number plates can only be of a certain FONT ?
I think i can safely say that over the last few years lots of new regulations have come out regarding registration plates.
Summary : You do need one front and back

You need a front plate, you need headlights. If it would fail the MOT, then it is illegal.

The law states that you must have a number plate meeting the correct regulations (Size, reflective etc) but does NOT go any further than that, as far as i am aware a second number plate is 100% legal..... Possibly ask TonyMK2 to pop down the local police station to do his research bit
