about to have some plates made over the web but I don't know if they are standard size.

The rear plate on my car is standard width but about 5cm taller.

Can someone confirm that the normal size won't look stupid?

Adam,

The recess in the rear bumper is the same on the UK cars.

You'll see UK cars with normal size rear number plates, as well as the ones which are slightly taller.

I've had both, but prefer the taller one!

I agree. I have taller too.

don't think the friend will care though and in the absence of a measurement it will be fine.

thanks for the info andy.

I had a custom square one made to fit the mounting bracket as the UK square plate size wont fit.

Larger plate (which will fit UK cars as well as Japanese cars with the lower brackets!)
