Shorter registration on rear of car....

bl0ckev · 06-06-2019, 02:54 AM

So I replaced my registrations and risked a shorter one on the rear.
Think I will need to get use to it as it looks so different... but I kind of like it.

Looks odd tiny - hope you get used to it :-)

Aren't uk number plates supposed to support the BSAU 145d stamp on the bottom right hand side ?
You might want to check this mate
If it haven't, it's not 100 legal I think

correct, the number plate has to display "BS AU 145d" as well as the name and postcode of the supplier.

I got the smallest one possible for a 6 digit number plate and it looked too weird for me, so bought some 450mm ones instead which are a good middle ground:

I was totally oblivious when ordering that I had "show plates" selected. Since ordered the legal versions so thanks for the detective work guys

Man I wish M40 TME was available, but someone else already has it!

Where did you order them from if you don't mind me asking?

Just remember to toggle the "Plate Type" to legal ones

I have always bought mine from https://www.number1plates.com

They ask for docs but at least you know that they're legal.

I used to be a Subaru owner and knew a copper who ran a very modified STi back in 2008. He had a shortened private plate on the front for a... A1 ABC ...style plate, but he always had the full-sized plate on the back.

Not sure what UK law states now on sizing.
