Now that I have a new front end I dont want to spoil it with a massive number plate nor do I want to block the air getting in.

 

Does anyone know of anywhere that does the legal special sizes of 350mm x 112mm or 330mm x 140mm (standard uk size is 520mm x 112mm). I've looked online there are places that do them but they insist on putting their name / postcode at the bottom of the plate - then there was demonplates.com who let you choose your slogan at the bottom but not the special size I want!

 

Starting to pull my hair out over this because I want to be back on the road!

 

EDIT: Also is there something you can buy with a numberplate release so that I can remove the plate at shows etc.

Dave that plate you have on Eliza is pretty much the exact size I want and has 7 digits too. What size is it? Have you had any grief from the plod over it?

LOL Was my info not good enough? :rofl: ;)

 

Dave's plate is the same size as mine.

It was fantastic info Si but I needed sizes in mm but I can see it on that funkyplates site now.

 

So both your plates would be 390mm x 84mm then?

Just go to Fancyplates.com and get the 3/4 sized plates. You don't need to worry about anything else.

 

My rear plate is custom cut from there too to fit the aperture. A lot of people have ill fitting plates and it's a real bugbear of mine!

 

Go for plain plates also. Steer clear of slogans, gay fonts, holograms and graphics as it's just tat. :)

Can't recommend this guy enough. Must have had around 10 - 15 sets of plates from him and they are all amazing. actually printed onto the reflective plastic.

I had 300ZX.CO.UK as a slogan, gotta represent! But yeah cheers I ordered the 3/4 size plate. I stuck with the UK font so mine looks exactly like this:

 

 

Don't shout at me Si! :no:

Not legal tho! Wish it was....althought strictly speaking nor is the plate i've ordered but at least it visible and more unlikely to get pulled for it

Correct me if i`m wrong but does the plate have to be attached to the bumper/bonnet? I have a small reg plate on the front bumper and always take a normal legal plate with me, and if i see the rozzas i display it in the front windscreen? is this acceptable?

MOT stations have at least 17 ways to fail a number plate these days, and its a £30 fine (no points) for being pulled with wrong plates.
