No mate its 390mm X 84mm or 13" x 3.5"


Think i may have got this one from Custom Number Plates - Reflective Acrylic Car Registration plates (UK and Ireland) not as i said in the 1st post.

I had a few plates from different places but think this is the best one ive had on the car!

Its been on for about 7 months now and never been pulled for it!

I went for the 16-4.5 size with standard lettering and a blue border .

The showplates site doesn't seem to have a true 3/4 size plate available.

The fancyplates sites makes it look easy to order the right thing though and I'm just about to order one. Looks fine with the legal font and proportionate spacing and sizing. Much more likely to pass muster to the long armed gents.

Mine was from Fancy Plates. Never been stopped and I've done 60,000 miles with it. Font and relative spacing is standard so I don't think it gets noticed.

It looks to me like you are running a jap import which means you can get smaller letters legally compared to the uk cars.
