Hi all,

I have a 5 character private plate and i'm really tempted to get one of the smaller number plates made up.

Does anyone know what, in the eyes of the law, is legal/illegal?

Cheers

I have a six character P. plate and I had a normal one made up...NO BORDERS! cut off the blank ends,used the ends to profile the corners,smoothed perfectly with a sanding block...looks mint...you may need black studs to fit..+ d/s tape.

 

My plate is 5 characters and I've got away with a 280 x 80 plate for a couple of years now. Looks much better IMHO.

However, my production manager has a normal PX53 *** plate, and he gets pulled repeatedly for it.

As in the link by corradoboy, its down to the character size- mine don't look too small, but when you try to squeeze seven characters on they look really small.

 

Going from that guide i could drop my actual plate size but after calling a few places today in regards to making smaller plates for a car they all made out like i was asking for blood!

Anyone know of a place in West Yorks who would accomodate?

Many thanks for the replies!

 

you'll struggle to find anyone, but try www.fancyplates.com, I get all of mine from there, and they don't give a **** for english regs as they're over on the emarald isle

 

hi m8, got my plate done at www.styleride.com they're from manchester. make up the plate you want on the website, then order.

Nice one. I have a set of the exact same size plates as yours on order right now

Thanks matey!

 

Cheers matey, but i couldn't get these to go as small as i hoped (smart web site tho'!)

 

Yeah, i'll 2nd this.... Only got 5 Letters on my plate, so went for 3/4 size on the front, looks much better & not been tugged for it yet...

Gazza...

 

ooops

 

Same here. I'll just pretend i didn't follow CB's link

 

I went for this one from www.fancyplates.com cost 35 quid front and rear ( Rear is full size front is 3/4 size ) Been on the car since start of March and had no problems so far, I would suggest keeping the font and spacing correct though

they charge extra if you want your reg number on it

 

LOL I knew there was something I had forgotten to ask them to do

 

Had mine for a few months and had no problems, pretty small compared to standard size...
