Thanks guys, it was just a front plate on my NC1, but not a square one. Standard plates are 520mm wide, I've been looking at legal plates at 405mm wide which will fit my soon to be 6 digit plate (I've 5 at present but that will go on my sons car in sept if he passes his test!). It was just a question to see anyone has done this and what it looks like, either attached to a shorter plinth or fixing the acrylic plate directly with strong pads. Cheers. Ps like the green and black steveti

If you only want to see what it looks like send me a pic of the front of the car and the plate you want on there and I'll try and photoshop it for you. PM me and I'll let you have my e.mail address to send it to
Thanks will sort out later

Don't trust him with Photoshop. Your car will come back full of pineapples or with a Christmas tree shoved up the exhaust.

You'll have to excuse us Graham, we spend to wander off topic now and again.

From number a plate bracket to bunny outfits in 1 page is great going. :Rofl:

it isn't the dimensions of the number plate that has legal requirements but the letters and the spacing and then the 'land' (called 'margin') between letters and the edge of the plate.

It's all detailed in the DVLA leaflet INF104 and contains lots of info' number plate related.

Basic rules around a plate font and spacing are;

LEGAL font letters/numbers have to be 79mm tall and 50mm wide (except the number '1') with 33mm space between the groups of number/letters and 11mm between individual number/letters and an 11mm margin from number/letters to edge of the plate.

Therefore on a '3x3' plate (three numbers and three letters, assuming no '1' or 'i' is involved - single line spacing) would give you;

width 11+50+11+50+11+50+33+50+11+50+11+50+11 = 399mm

height 11+79+11 = 101mm

In the case of a mythical plate 'A2', the plate could, legally, be as small as 155mm wide and 101mm high
