Depends on how long your reg number is

 

[Chrisjk]

3/4 size i reckon.

Go for a normal sized plate with the ends cut down. As long as you have it all standard with an 11mm space between the legal sized & font lettering to the edge of the plate your fine.

3/4 size i reckon.

First up they arn't legal. Next up it won't pass the mot either.

do we know any company that will Remove the ends. ?
so theres only 11MM arund the ends then
as dont want to bodge it my self

As said you can either diy it, or give the measurements to places like fancyplates & they'll supply a plate that size. To be legal you must have it how I described

So 11 MM from the sides to the letters

what about from the top to the top of the letters? ??

 

[cat171]

The same. If you measure any standard uk reg they are 11mm too.

Cant u get stick on plates that look exactly like the real plates but just stick onto the bumper?? surely theyd pass an mot and they must be legal as their no different to normal plates,

Think thatll save a bit of weight.

You can do yes, but iirc they aren't legal as they aren't reflective.

Sticky Plates FTW

Cat171 can you comfirm 100% theres are not legal ???
as i thought they were relfective.

Is this illegal unless it's on an old car?

Thought it might have to be, shame would have solved the problem.

They are only vinyl, they are not reflective. Whether or not the ob are up on the legality is another story though.

But. I swear the ones i use for my Dolly trailer are Vinyl but are reflective as well

My old boss had one on his F355 on the front, that wasn't reflective.

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

can u not make them reflective somehow??? lacquer them? sticky back plastic over them lol. anything?!

Halfords!

I believe you can get reflective spray? mask the numbers off, spray the whole plate and voila you can still get caught by a speed camera... ?
