There is nothing in the guidance notes https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/359338/VTL301G_050814.pdf that says you have to cover up the normal numberplate.

But there is here http://www.rha.uk.net/docs/11_cb%201%20October%202014%20Trade%20Plates%20FAQs.pdf

FAQ #10 gives the relevant details.

this is the new crucial up to date link
to OP I would seek legal advice as you would be breaking the terms of your trade plates if convicted of running a car with no tax showing as per photos

What you supposed to do where number plates are stuck on or are rectangular or are fixed to one side of the bumper ?

It's clear they hadn't thought of all eventualities when getting rid of the tax disc and the system has little or no flexibility in it.

Should the motor trade organisations be putting some kind of case forward ?

there was one of those consultative documents sent out about 3 years ago asking for views but dvla filed it all under b for bin because the hats moved departments
