yeah mate, no probs, providing the size, spacing and background conform!!!

its been MOT'd etc...

plus dont forget, some alfa's have them too as standard!!

i have them on the back too.

the trouble is the bumper cutout is better suited to standard shape plates on the back.

forgot to say IIRC the size is 11" x 8" for standard uk square plates
but you can have a border and logo on this size.
i think the US size plates are a bit smaller and may be illegal.

also there is legislation on the placement of the plate (height from road and angle etc...)

have a look on any plate manufacturers website for more info.

i quite like them on mine, and as they were on the car when it got registered, no point in spending £30 on another set, as i see it!! (spend it on optimax instead!!)

good luck
