Hi evryone,
Now Iv got my FMIC fitted Iv decided to fit a square No plate on the NS. I'm going to screw it on so it does not fall off so I'm after a NS fog lamp cover for a V3 STI. Colour does not matter as it won't be visible. If anyone can help let me know. Thanks.

Don't do it buddy.
It will look better with something like this -



Or even a smaller plate in standard position.

I agree that looks Cool but I don't fancy getting pulled all the time

Think you will find a square plate on the front is illegal as not factory fit, I was going for a square on the back of mine and told that was a no go.

Both the square plate and that one above are illegal if PC Plod is wantting to apply the law to the letter
Square plate: not factory fit.
One above: not enough space round letters, no maker's name and phone No, can't see the BS mark.

Having said that, mine is even smaller.......

Used this information when deciding on plate size ...

Was then pulled over twice within a two week period for other offenses by two different officers.
I pointed out the plate and asked their opinion, both coppers said had no reason to prosecute me for it but did say it should have the makers name and postcode stamped onto it.
I did originally have a smaller plate than the one above which I did get a pull for.

Square plate is legal. Just a bit of a no-no on UK cars.

My plate was from Halfords.
