Front number plate

[gareth h]

I've just fitted a new front bumper (thanks Des) it looks like the mounting for the front number plate would suit a smaller sized plate, I know it's not legal but has anybody fitted a smaller plate?

I have the QLD slimline plate fits fine

Glad you got the bumper sorted

I've got a small plate fitted in the gap - not been pulled yet for it. Was supplied that way by the dealer. Mate used to carry round a broken plate he had from fitting full size one - was always catching in car washes and getting ripped off

The plate is so small, I can't seem to focus on it...

I've had small plates on mine since 2003.

I can't remember the details exactly but apparently it is OK to have smaller number plates on the front provided the letters are a minium size and spacing. Something to do with the limited import numbers.

Yep I have a small plate on the front of mine also for the past 18 months

I have a small front plate, it was on it when I bought it. It's not been a problem but it might be when it comes time for it's first MOT.

Here it is, nice and snug:

plates that fit the space provided are perfectly legal - passed MOT with the small plate that's on the GTS Coupe & I'm sure Jace has done same since owning it.

where did you get yours from?

[mackie1]

Like I said it was on the car when I bought it. The plate has "Wadtech Racing" written on it so I'm assuming they made it (they are a bike place and the previous owner on my car was into his bikes). I'm sure fancyplates.com can knock something up with the same dimensions.

Had a small one on mine for a while (post profile picture). I used Graigs plates www.craigsplates.com and got a good service.
