Anyone with a reduced sized plate on the back?

[AstonExige]

I'm looking to put my private plate on soon, its 5 characters long. I can't make my mind up whether to get the plate cut down on leave it full size with gaps either end? Front plate I will cut down, its just the one on the rear.

Not talking about reducing the font size, just reducing the size of the plate to account for the reduction in characters.

Anyone else done this? Can you put some pictures up? My car is a V12V but I'd be interested in any AM.

Thanks in advance

I tried it and it looks crap so just stick with the standard full width plate

Rubbish i have a shorter plate and it looks great, front and rear. You can see more Carbon each side of rear plate.

I have to be very careful, when I comment on here about number plates.
Looks very good Paul.

Why have you taken off your winter wheels?
February has only just begun.

With this photo, you fogged the right hand end of your number plate.
On your profile page, you fogged the left hand end of your number plate.
Just saying, in case you prefer it to remain private.

Utter tosh

They look superb. Decision made, cut down plate on the back

Now to decide about whether to go for a border, a euro flag or whatever. I'm leaning towards just clean and nothing else

If you are going for a cut down plate surely no flag no border is the way to go to make it as small as possible!

I have a cut down legal min sized plate on the front but full size on the back as I personally thought it looked a bit odd with a small plate sitting in the full sized plate recessed area in the rear bumper.

Had some amazing plates made by Four Dot. They were for a DB9. Cut to size. Yellow rear, short plate and put onto a black background to fit aperture. Go onto their web site and have a play. Quality just another league

Can dealers order the cut down "blanks" as it were so you can have them made up legally with the BSAU logos, nice to have the dealer stamp etc imo?

[Loose_Cannon]

Just my humble opinion, but full size plates make short letter/number sets look better as they emphasise that its "unusual". That's from someone who doesn't have a private plate!

I was wondering how you could tell he'd removed his winter wheels, then I saw them at the side. I'm surprised they fit the arches and red is a bold colour choice, but they are sensibly narrow for use in snow.

Thanks Zod they do go well with the black.

Ok when I said awful what I really meant was an utter steaming turd of fugly...

The other short plates above look good but that framed unit is like slapping a face tattoo on Helena Christensen.

Each to their own.
And less of the nastiness thank you very much.
