So, my 99 spec bumper is in the paint shop and so I now want to get a new bumper plate for it.

So, do I go UK and horizontal rectangular or import square style? Which suits the 99 spec best in people's opinion?

The car is an import so its square import style on the rear. Also, the reg of the car is an Irish style one.

Anyone got any photos of their 99 spec bumpers with plates on they can show to help?

This is just another example how the construction and use rules differ with mot requirements, for mot purposes the margins are 11mm and import can be reduced to 5mm. It doesn't state which margins. See table below

 

 

We as testers are required to actually measure nothing.

9 out of 10 plod haven't a clue on construction and use so follow the mot guidelines an you'll be fine with the measurements I gave.

And if you don't have the details of the supplier of the plates printed on them so what....... Again it's not checked on an mot, and the plates were made before they started printing these details officer......:whistling:
