Hi guys need the smallest number plate without attention off bizzies don't want to cover front mount to much,any ideas as I seen loads at the meet wed which would be perfect but didn't get round to asking the owners..need one ASAP

 

Bike plate totally legal

Well a tad bigger and it's written in the big book of laws but you'll always get a funny flucker who will try it on or doesn't know the law themselves.

Just print off a copy of the requirements from the dvla and keep it in your car to show the copper at the time.

I got a copy somewhere and will try find the thread tomorrow, sure it was on a supra forum from where I got the info

 

If you do get a lot of unwanted grief why not use a standard uk plate / numbers and shave the width a little. Some of my other customers have used the same position as the Mitsi Evo uses towards the n/s end of the bumper.
If you do want to mount there I think I've got a JDM plate holder there somewhere that'll probably never be used by me

If it's a UK car you have to use a standard sized UK plate.

If it's an import you can go smaller.

 

^^ This ^^

Bike sized digits can only be use on imports. Having said that I ran a bike sized plate on my classic for 6 years with no bother from the police!!

You can cut you standard numberplate down provided you leave 11mm between the edge of the digits and the edge of the plate. This way you'd be 100% legal.

Oh if your car is from 2001 or later you need the manufacturer name/postcode and BS number on show, although it would take an **** copper to do you for not having those on!!

 

Boonet sticker as per MX5's etc.

 

You can use jap size letters which are smaller on jdm cars

 

Just do like most vw and Audi drivers do and just put it on your dash and not run a plate lol

 

Hi guys yes it's import,just got a motor bike plate which is small and square,I could probably trim that down a tad more?

 

I've been putting it in window but only matter of time p.c **** pulls me

 

Cheers kid!!!

 

I would prefer it central if possible but Thankyou for plate holder

 

Craigsplates do the Jap import legal sized plates with manufacture referece,postcode and BS number

You can get smaller depending on the amount of digits.

See the info I put on this thread about legal requirements.

 

I shall be purchasing one of these but for a UK car will it be the same size as that and what materiel is that acrylic?

Pretty much what I said up the page

 

A lot of people run smaller letters (for imports) and get away with it but it is not actually legal and if a copper who knows the law properly pulls you then you could still get done for it.

The regulations state that imported cars may display number plates with smaller characters if: a) The vehicle does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval and b) The construction/design of the vehicle cannot accommodate standard size number plates.

I don't think you could say that the construction of an Impreza cannot accommodate a standard size number plate when they make a UK version which does have standard size fitted to it.

 

Standard lettering with a 10mm border... www.fancyplates.co.uk will do it for you !

 

Cheers kid

 

Needs 11mm around all of the letters to make it legal and at least 33mm between groups. My front plate was made slightly off with only 10mm gap at the top and the subaru marked it down on my MOT as advisory and must be changed. In theory I can get fined by the plod for it.

 

Im running mine with a home made shortened plate. 11mm each side. have done for 3 1/2 years with no bother

 

I cut down a standard plate, with legal lettering, never been bothered by the police had it on for 4 years

 

Sorry to say guys but i got done comeing out of Castle combe with a chopped down plate .The plate will not have a legal stamp on it . But i still run smaller plates jdm size letters

 

Cheers for advice guys will be getting Stanley out tomorrow 11mm border it is cheers

 

depends on if you could argue it restricting airflow to the factory fitted oil cooler in my case
