Do you guys get any grief for running small plates on the front? They look soooo much better than the full size ones...

+1
I cut mine down so there was no white surround around the letters to make it smaller!!!!

Where can you get the smaller ones?

You can get them online - google "show plates" most of them offer different sizes. Supposedly just for show though as you don't need your V5 or any proof of ownership to buy...

I now run an even smaller stick on one about 2/3rds of above on the leading edge of the bonnet as I now am running without a grill and plate for better cooling, (track days)yes

Yeah they are getting really arsey about plates now my GF got pulled over in her little swift a few months ago because her plate did not have the BS mark in the corner, They made her change them and take it to a MOT station to get passed, when there after buying new plates the mot'er said he would pass the car with the old plates as they were the correct size and spacing, what's going on with the traffic cops these day's lack of common sense I think.

What difference does that little BS in the corner make?

My Volvo just had its MOT and had to have new plates put on due to water getting in between the laminate and it only says the garages name on the bottom not one sign of a BS lettering i asked him about it (He is a Chim owner too after seeing mine) he thinks they are just at it.

Not taking the O/P to far of topic but i am next door to an MOT station and they are now told to come down hard on non conforming plates by VOSA rolleyes the plate i got stopped for was the same size as AC BILKO's purple Chim above irked
