Nice plate! I want one :) what size is it in mm?

Thanks

Yeah, it'd be great if you could give us some measurements if you get a second! :)

Looks great! I was looking to get a smaller one for the front of mine when I had my new plates made up a while back, but wasn't sure how the plod would feel about it. Take it you've not had any issues yet?

Nice one, cheers for that! You ever had any issues from the plod then...? Mine aren't 'standard' at the moment, using motorbike sized letters instead of the normal one's, and I've not been stopped yet but just wondered how much hassle people have had with the smaller plates as obviouslly that catches thier eye more!

I was caught loads like that, going in and out of VW shows a few years back, while I had German style plates on various Golfs! F:censored:kers!

Might get one ordered then and see how I go... :)

Nice, i do have small plates for mine, fully legal just enough room around the edges, but i have the surrounds on screwed to the bumper :(


Here's my old car cops didn't like my german fonted plate

i had one of these plates on the car

it lasted a week.......... got a 60quid fine cos thats what its upto now [:@]
and they took pictures of my car. then said that if i was caught with them again that it would be another fine and the dvla would be notified. then if caught a 3rd time the dvla can revoke your vehicle registration cos you don't own that, the dvla does. meaning your car needs to go off the road and you need to get it re-registered, which can take upto 9months, and a maximum fine of £1000

i'm not taking my chances even though they look so much better than standard plates on the front
