Square plates are perfectly road legal if the correct size, as above.

I think the square plate ruins the front of the car. It needs to go under the bottom grill imo

The standard UK plates rub the paint work on the front though as the mounting is not big enough and the edges of the plate rub the paint when at speed.

Jap plates on a UK car are not strictly road legal by the way. Fine on an import. You have to use the UK size square plates otherwise.

Thats a bummer


Surely someone would have come up with a solution by now. If the car was white you might get away with it

Square plates would appear to be totally legal
