I'm going to buy a shorter front mounting plinth from eBay, and will therefore aim to get a shorter plate made up (for a 5 digit registration). I'd like it to look OEM though, so would want the OPC details on it (to match a standard rear plate). Does anyone know of a supplier for such a thing? (Admittedly I've not asked the OPC yet, so would be curious to know if others have been successful down this easiest route).

Just buy plates from the dealership and cut the ends off. If possible forget the plinth and just stick the plate straight on the car.

Hi Steve,

I have used these people a couple of times recently

www.platesforcars.co.uk

They offer all legal sizes and also show plates of almost any design

You can have wording along the bottom although you may not be able to get the exact font to match the rear plate

They use DPD for delivery with various options

The plates are really good quality

Porsche Wilmslow wouldn’t sell me the plates! (Supplying dealer of my car)

I said I wanted to use tape and they said no.

I use them for all my cars. And you can have shortened plates like I had on my Maser GTS.

This . I have a 4 digit number , bought the short plinth and cut the dealer plate down . IMO it looks better than the stick on one I tried which looked a bit meh for me . Looks to float off the bumper which I like ( plinth is about 90 high , plate 110 )

Fourdot Zero plates are fantastic plates, i purchased a set, but they don't come with the OPC details, which the OP said he wanted.
