I've been looking online but struggling to find a number background (33x48cm), white with a black border for putting on a white car as per J.4.1.1 in the 2018 blue book.

I might just be looking in the incorrect places if someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated smile

Thanks,

Dunc.

Hi Carl, I had considered that but thought there might be something off the shelf, cheers though.

Reese, thanks for the suggestion but no metal panels or doors biggrin Also I see yours doesn't have the black border as per the blue book, most likely it's not that important and I'm probably worrying about nothing!

Thanks for the responses, appreciated,

Dunc.

Edit - Just measured the side of the car, the standard size won't even fit, guess it's just a case of doing the best you can smile

My solution might not be very helpful to anyone else but since the full size square is too high to fit on my car I've fitted the 9 inch numbers onto the side pod and used black tape to denote the sides of the box.

If it wasn't for the height restriction I would have used the ebay link posted above. Looks like it would be spot on for road based cars.

Cheers
