Ro front number plate.

[SOCO]

Forgive me if this subject's been done to death already, but I've been searching the previous posts without luck.

Can anyone who's actually bought one of the small size number plates for the front of their Ro please post a link for the company they used, and perhaps give me the size I need?

Cheers

Adrian

Got mine from a company called Alidrew in Newcastle, think I just got a 3/4 size one and fits the frame perfectly.

To legally do the front plate to accom the recess, you will have to have a 5 digit plate or a reg number that has two one's it's the only legal way to do it

You should be able to get away with it ok, but legally it will not be ok, I just had a £60 fine, for having a black screw in between the two ones, so just be very carefull.

I just cut the ends off a legal plate. I think the recess is about 13 1/2 "

I've had the plate A14 ARD for years and it's not much wider than yours Mick. From what I remember of your plate there's still a bit of space either side, but I can't remember the spacing requirement between the edges of the plate and the first/last letters. I guess it all depends where you live and how busy your local Old Bill are. Knowing my colleagues, they'll be too busy dealing with the constant flow of calls to be worried about the exact spacing on my plate. I shall of course be using a standard font and letter size though.
It's unusual for them to give an on the spot fine though. Usually they just give you a correction slip to be stamped at the mot station after "Attending to the required rectification"

Mark/Nick, I haven't got your names wrong.... I was refering to Snowwolf. This forum moves too quick for me and I missed the other replies .

11mm minimum spacing requirement from the edge of the letters to the plate edge. I have a six digit plate and it fits nicely on my Monaro.
