Matt,

If your's were smaller than wightmans ........ <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> or did you do some funky spacing.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

No it was normal size. It had incorrect spacing.

One of the numbers 'may' have been misrepresented slightly too.

wightman your front plate looks OK but back one looks plain silly IMHO <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The BS that numberplates have to adhere to, does not (I think) specify that they should have a black border around it - just that the border should be 'non reflective'. Could get away with dull yellow perhaps?.

Paint the back of the car yellow, buy a myriad of black numbers and letters and stick them all over the place. In amongst them put a 'legal' plate.

Now that would confuse the hell out of the ANR detectors, and be totally legal !!!. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
You may spend half your life being pulled over though !!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Dave agreed re Wightmans plate <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ive got the same size on the front as Wightman - and full size on the rear. In 3 years ive had 2 letters sent threatning that the DVLA would pull the plate from me if I continued etc.

I ve been pulled over twice in 2 weeks during the 3 years, got a £30 fine and second cooper told me to get an mot stamp on a document he gave me.

Ive stayed with the plate however ( Im stubborn ) Ive attached velcro to the back of the plate and if I get pulled again <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Ive got the full size in the boot and will say Ive just come from a car show/ meet or something and will immediately change over.

well that is your opinion. but i like it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Alternatively you could try it a completely different way & put them on 2 lines click

bolcks alot of air though.... the reason i wanted to fit ( and did) a smaller plate was to increase the amount of air into the rad, intercooler etc

ajg - beat me to it!

That plate is not going to be good for your rad - and if you decide on FMIC in the future will be bad for that too.

Not noticed any increase in temperature, but will keep an eye on it.

Why make life a hassle.. just use a standard plate with standard lettering and buy a nice private number to go on it e.g. FCC 123
