Can't see any mention of plate size tho

[Edited to say - Spose its dictated by the font size, spacing and borders tho]

Has anyone fited the square type numberplate to the front of their scoob - a la EVOs etc.
I think they look better - do they fit OK? If not has anyone moved their front plate elsewhere, I can't see anywhere else to put it. Is it legal to put it on the dashboard

Has anyone got this style numberplate in their Scooby?
(Ain't Microsoft Photo editor great!)

Jamie,

My MY93 WRX came over from Japan with the square number plates front and rear. Here is a picture of the front (it is an old picture, before I started modding ):

[*** Edited to say you can buy this sized plate from Halfords as it is the same size as motorbike plates, but it only just fits in the gap (some slight 'shaving' required for a comfortable fit) ***]

I ABSOLUTELY HATE ALL OF YOU HERE

I just went down this numberplate road, clicked your links and checked some websites. I'm now a grand worse off, and can think of much bettr things to use my credit card on than a bloody silly vain numberplate.

Tell me the below will appreciate in value - PLEASE

Cheers for the info Dan, seeing the picture of your's has convinced me that this is the way for me to go, just need to think of a cheeky one liner for the bottom

Diesel, I doubt I would have ever bought a personal numberplate with my own money, but it was a nice suprise to get one for my 21st birthday

PS weren't you in 'The Fast and the Furious'?
