Jay762 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 From an MOT point of view it may pass as you can read the letters and numbers from the set distance but from a DVLA perspective I believe only on a old landrover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I know jdm plates can legally be smaller but I think there's a rule about showing white all the way round ,between the numbers and the edge of the plate . As I could've had the whole plate made 20mm smaller and still be 0.5mm above the legal limit . I just wanted a smaller than UK sized plate and didn't want anything to wind coppers up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Tbh I couldn't tell you the size of my plate , without measuring it but I vaguely remember him saying something about needing a minimum amount of white round the edges . If so maybe you could trim a bit off the holder (top n bottom) too show a white gap between numbers and holder ? Just double check , before you hack anything about though bud , as I might have been mistaken or it might not apply to your scoob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anorexic_sti Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 bought a smaller plate that will show white around every part of the letters when in the holder, just to be on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
