Reg Plate Sizes

[darrent]

Sad question this but I bet somebody knows! I need to get a set of new plates for the Cerb. When I bought the car the dealer put plates on that did not quite fit (too long) and they look shite. Who knows the actual size (h x w) of plate that fits nice and snug on a Cerb? Answers on a post card please....

Mine are just standard size 520x110 and fit perfectly.

I have the normal size one on the back and a "bike size" one on the front. Haven't yet been stopped but don't think it is particularly legal (I do actually keep a normal size one in the agarage for MOT time if required). Obviously the only reason I have the small one on the front is to improve air flow into the rad!

I Followed this thread & got myself a set of 'Show' Plates.
The front 1 I ordered was the same height as a normal font letter and a little over 400mm Long. Beware, there are screw holes which need to be covered.
But 2 plates for about £30 can't be bad!

Hi Keith,

That's who I have ordered them off. What do you mean by the two holes need covering??

[olly]

Do you know if "www.fancyplates.com/constructor.html" can do "Rear" lit numberplates ? (as needed for most TVR's)

[darrent]

they can. Just get honeycomb relfective and add a note in the notes ections that it's for a back lit plate.

Damn!!! thought I was being clever & orderd honeycombe plates which lights do not shine thru...I'll know for next time thou!
With regards to the holes for the front plate, there are 2 pre-drilled holes with no thread for self tapping screws and 2 with threads cut in them. My front plate size was 400 x 80. I would suggest that 410 would defo clear the outer holes (you have to be on your hands and knees to see the holes...but you know how your car shuld look )

Yeah sorry i took the original plates off the car darrent!!! But I always keep my plates as I have a little collection with the same reg in my study!!! Odd I know but it has been said before.....

Personally I found you can get away with murder if you find the right place to make the plate....

[darrent]

No probs Basher, let you off this time! How's the Prancing Pony?

[Basher]

sums it up really.....marvellous...how are you looking after my old girl??? Still miss her and will be buying another cerb as well in the summer to keep alongside the pony.....

[darrent]

She has a flat battery a the moment - on trickle as we speak! Your getting another Cerb - good on yer, knew you could resist some REAL speed!
