Default small front license plate

hey folks,

i have a 2003 blobeye sti and have seen a few floating about with really small front license plates.

on my front license plate there is padding behind the plate and the plate is screwed into the bumper (dont know if this is right but)

is there a license plate holder available for these tiny plates and also where to get them

Unless they have the correct size font then they ar illegal plates and you can (and normally are) pulled by the police and give a nice fine and told to replace them.
You also need to understand that as your car (and every subaru impreza) has an area available for standard size plates, changing these will also incure a fine (square numberplates unless your car was imported before 1999).
