Default Number Plate buying Online

Hi,
Where can I buy some plates online?

I'm after a standard rear one, but the front one I want legal size text, but as small as possible if that makes sense?

Thanks

Got mine from FanctPlates.com Rear plate is standard size, from is a 3/4 size, so the letters and numbers are smaller than they should be I guess, but it looks so much better. Had no troubles as yet with it on. I'll get a pic up if you like later tonight.

Yes please mate.

I bought the car with a little one on the front as well. I've only had the car a week though so can't say if the local police like it or not yet. But it does look a lot better!

Cheers

Used to have one on mine, made from motor bike digits on a standard plate and then cut down with a band saw.

Can't recommend this guy enough.

£19 for the two - rear standard size, front 3/4 size with honeycomb, Highline Letters, Border and a Black STi Badge with Pink Writing.

I have a pic on my phone showing the size difference (will be fitted to the car this week at some point.

Not sure how my front plate stacks upto yours, this one just hangs over the raised number plate mount by a cm each side (if you see what I mean?)

Rear as I said is standard size plate and letter/numbers, passes the MOT fine, but I did swop the front back to standard just to make sure .
Did get stopped a few weeks back, for speeding of all things (cant think why), all they saw was the back plate, done all their checks but they never looked at the front. We shall see how it goes.

Cheers guys.

After seeing a lad I know who is a local copper, he recommended just getting standard size plates, as they are quite strict on it around here. Plus he was saying next year he think there has so be a standard size of the actual plate, rather than just the text size.
