i got a square one on at the moment so be nice to get rid of it and put something smaller there..

I have a 3/4 size plate. Had no trouble with police, although MOT station were'nt happy about it

 

also from fancyplates.com

i bought a 3/4 plate first time i went out with it on i got stopped and told to remove it and put a standard one on

Try doing a search for motorbike plates as these are smaller than car ones.

Yeah a standard UK leagal one will keep them happy

plod have had me twice for my plate ..........30 quid each time ....loads of burglars rapists drug dealers roaming the streets , but they prefer to pick on the motorist because chances are if he drives a nice car he is more liable to be able to pay towards Mr Tony Blahs turkey army ,and he is not likly to give plod a hard time by running or fighting back ...............Bstards the police these days are a bunch of non political correctness terrified, power castrated , tax collectors and a sham to what they were when they used to be respected

Been discussed before on HERE, but take a look at that thread, a bit of info and the dimensions for the 99 spec front plate, also a mock-up of what my plate looks like from fancyplates.com.

 

HTH

Time to try and put this to bed once and for all I think! A couple of months ago I spent an infuriating day trying to corner the DVLA on the minimum legal size for import car numberplates. After dealing with a succession of muppets who couldn't find their arse with both hands and even being directed to the Ministry of Transport at one point (!) I finally worked it out without help from them! The following is a description of the smallest legal plate/letter size you can have. It is very much a grey area though (even the DVLA aren't sure) so I accept no responsibility if anyone is still pulled for having this...and if I'm wrong I will happily stand corrected!:

 

Based on the minimum sizing as stated on the DVLA website for "Display of Vehicle Registration Marks on Imported Vehicles (which have a restricted space for a standard sized number plate)"

 

Character Height: 64mm

Character Width: 44mm

Character Stroke: 10mm

Space Between Characters: 10mm

Space Between Groups: 33mm

Top, Bottom and Side Margins (minimum): 11mm

 

With these measurements the front plate should work out to be 379mm x 86mm.

 

The rear plate should have the standard UK character sizings and spacings on a square Import style plate: 340mm x 170mm.

 

All plates are designed to be made with no borders or markings other than the registration itself to keep the sizing to a minimum.

 

Give all these details to Fancyplates and they should be able to make them up no problem.

 

HTH! :)

Don't get me started. If you take a gamble then accept what may come.

Leave it off. Then say sorry you didnt know it was not on. If you have a small one, (number plate that is) you are saying "up yours" and they know it.
