Sorry to put this in here Admins/mods, its just I thought it would get noticed more here than in "styling" Feel free to remove it once I get a couple of answers,

But basically, I'm after getting some plates made up for the pending arrival of my Scooby, but the standered size plate is 520 x 112 MM and looks too big for front of the MY06, I want to have the 3/4 size which is 390 MM x 84 MM, would this be legal. what size do the letters have to be to be legal, Any help .

Reg is 1 letter & 1 number then 3 letters (Private plate) ends in WRX lol.

Chris

Sorry again Mods/admins

 

got the 3/4 size on the front of my classic but they are illegal,normal size on rear-havent been pulled yet but its only a matter of time-only std plate size with uk std font with std spacing are legal -bin pulled for plates loadsa times yrs ago-some coppers are funny about borders aswell sometimes.

you can get away with shortening the plate to suit the lenght of your reg.

But i think it's the height that has to full size.

when the police done me for mine (£30 fixed penalty) it was for the height of the letters, but mine was only about 35mm. I managed to get away with it for about 6 months.

 

Cheers for the replies lads, god why does everything have to be so hard, all i want is a set of plates, grrr.


nice car btw dave

Had on one 3/4 size on the front of my scoob for over 18 months, never got pulled for it.
Buy them from here www.fancyplates.com

Go to show plates and then you can specify whatever size you want

 

lol, you just beat me to it !

 

Best i go to Halfrauds and find out what the legal height is for the lettering, then i can go to fancy plates.com.

I need road legal plates, can do without agro from the filth

 

All the info you need HERE

 

Cheers Corradoboy,

Hmm Top/bottom/side margins of 11 MM, Does that mean i can't have a fancy border around the plate ??
Anyone

 

This one is 12" x 3" and for *cough cough* show use only,

looks soooooooooooo much better than a standard sized plate imo

(go on abuse me........ call me a chav lol)

 

you worry too much lol get a short plate say it came with it on if ya get pulled be nice to copper you`ll only get a warning first (well ya do round here)

 

I had a border on mine, its a 3/4 size plate from www.fancyplates.com I emailed them my design before placing the order and they responded saying that they could put the border on but the letters and numbers would shrink even more !!






Looks the nuts IMO unfortuanatley the coppers don't seem to like it quite so much
I have had several warnings in the 7 months I have had it on the car, the usual
" If I see again tonight, I am nicking you for that plate "

Touch wood not had the 30 quid fine yet !!

 

Thats the exact design I want, hmmm



how long after ordering did you have to wait for the plates Mark ??

 

Anyone know where I can get a set of plates with the Prodrive logo at the bottom?



Neil.
