Just get one made as small as the law allows.

Had this on mine for 3 years never got stopped once, if the anpr camers can read them you shouldn't have a problem

Where did you get that made? I was going to get a 12x6 for mine as I know you can fit legal spacing on it but its split over 2 lines and I would like it to be on one.

 

I am also planning to get a 5 character private plate so I can make a smaller one line plate.

 

Thanks

Alex

Mot tester failed me on it though as he was testing as a mx5 not an import. Divvy, I even took what ven has cut and pasted to him, plus the v5 and import docs.

Asked me if I thought I knew the law better than he did. I said obviously I did took it to another testing station flew through on the same plate [emoji51] which reminds me I may go for another small oblong plate if it fits, not a fan of my square one at the front
