Smaller front plate to fit LCR

[speedsix]

Has anyone had a front plate made up to fit the length of the surround exactly, as opposed to overhanging it? What size is it, from where and do you get any grief from dibble?

think that would be too small to be honest. i'm running a 3/4 sized front plate and wouldn't want it much smaller. it only overhangs the sides by about 1 inch ish.

I see, do you have any pics?

Cheers

only pic i've got of the front and its pretty poor as its off my old phone;

it is a lot smaller than original one though and still big enough not to get grief from the plod.

Looks good, any online places that will do smaller sizes that you know of, where did you get yours?

Cheers

think from memory i got mine from here, http://www.fancyplates.com/

they may even do smaller sizes i.e bike sized plates.

I suppose if you just cut the width down and left the same height you'd have to remove the space and would be more likely to get pulled than with a 3/4 size plate?

e bay do plates , cut to your size , give them the measuremants and they will cut it to that size , http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Number-plate-...ryZ25623QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem , i had a small one on my lcr only got told to take it of once by the police , took it of , then put it back on a week later

naughy!!

i do like the look of smaller plates but running the risk of being stopped by the police and getting a £30 fine isnt worth it...especially since once a month there are targets to be met!!

Did mine myself, if you take your time and chamfer the edges it looks like a standard plate.

i've had mine on for about 6 months, been sat behind police cars, followed them, driven past them etc and not been pulled once. touch wood. also running a german rear plate and had nothing for that either, i think police may be more strict in some places, but at the end of the day its only a number plate, you can still read it - unlike the old school italic lettered plates that used to be oh sooooo cooool

I don't think it looks too small at all, looks spot on IMO

Fancyplates.com did mine to my exact measurements. It is exactly, well within a couple of mm, of the size of the plate it sits onto.

 

[richybigman]

What were the measurements of yours rob?

easy halfords and cut it yourself

 

[richybigman]

Looks good mate but i've got an extra number so won't be as small

 

[nibbles]

doesnt really matter as you can hardly see the halfords logo

i got mine, smooths, and, bannamans done at a local graphics firm for 10 quid

Loads of threads with sizes etc in them and photo of the different sorts. Have a quick search as i can remember a real good one with sizes, links costs etc etc

 

[RobM]

I'll try and remember to dig out my receipt for the plate later, as the measurements are on there.

Plate looks spot on Rob!!! Anybody got German style pressed aluminium plates?
