Does anyone know where I can source a reflective vinyl stick-on front number plate that meets legal size and spacing requirements? My vehicle was equipped with a non-reflective vinyl adhesive plate that is slightly undersized and would not pass an MOT inspection. I want to avoid any complications with the police, as I prefer to stay under the radar.

Does it have anywhere vertical to stick it? Otherwise it's not legal

Reflective backing and they’ll put the supplier details etc on too. I seem to remember it has some sort of approval mark on it too.

This is what I have on the front of my Tesla Model 3. Been there for 2.5 years now without issue.

I'm fairly sure the Cayman comes from the manufacturer with a mount suitable for a normal rigid plastic number plate.

We aren't allowed to measure the size of registration plates for MOT.
So long as it looks about the normal size, and isn't taking the piss, it shouldn't be an issue.

As for plod liking it or not , thats a different matter entirely
