you can use import number plates on (the imported) subarus, they have a slightly smaller font although not as small as the motorcycle ones. They look much better IMHO:

Considering that insurance companies wont cover non road legal cars does this mean that if you have a crash with a 3/4 size number plate they would not payout?

I've been looking, depending on the digits you have...
Halfords do the legal size plates....
NORMAL size: 520mmx110mm
Medium size: 420x110mm
Small size: 330x110mm
this all depends on how many letters and numbers you have on the plate, but these keep the LEGAL size on digit hight/width etc.

That's the info I found on line when getting my plates sorted. I trimmed mine to that criteria and have had no issues whatsoever. A friend has a hawk like mine and has the full size plates which look plain awful alongside the trimmed ones, it probably helps that I only have six digits which makes for shorter plates.

I used a fine tooth mitre saw without its frame and just cut slowly with some Mr sheen on the saw blade, then smoothed the edges on a sheet of wet and dry, again lubed with the polish.

If you can find ANYTHING in your policy stating any different, let us know.

there doesn't seem to be any law on the size of plate. Only the size/font/spacing of letters.
so as long as they are right, you can cut down or have a smaller plate. it's 11mm min gap from the edges.

An example of the prescribed font can be seen on the related website
It is not permitted to use strategically placed bolts and screws to alter the letters or numbers on a registration plate.
You bad lad.

Well after 3 years of having a 3/4 front plate I got pulled by the Police this morning about it, didnt get a fine, just told to sort it out.
So now looking for a new plate, seen the 16" x 4.5", wondering how that would be? I see Sivo has one on, digits look big enough, well bigger than my one.

That is significantly better than mine which is as big as it can go really. I have spent a long time with it in my hands bending it so that it curves around with the front of the car. Not that you can tell from the photo but it does look much better than sticking out wide but wish I could have sit smaller.

Front number plate blob eye
Hey guys anyone have the same probem as me I've just put my fifth front number plate on in a matter of months cause inconsiderate motorists use my front bumper as stopping point. Because it doesn't sit flush on the bumper it keeps getting hit. I've spoken to my local number plate shop who I've gotten to know really well are trying to source me a reinforced plastic so it can take the impact. I have a private reg and its a small plate but I have damage on the bumper too! Any ideas on a resolve? Apart from sleeping in the car with a gun!
