taken from dvla...


Number plates fitted after 1st September 2001

Any number plate made up after 1st September 2001 must meet the dimensions as below:

Character Height 79 mm
Character Width (except the figure 1 or letter I) 50 mm
Character stroke 14 mm
Space between characters 11 mm
Space between groups 33 mm
Top, bottom, and side margins (minimum) 11 mm
Space between vertical lines 19 mm

so i guess if i keep 11mm around the sides like kells says i should be ok?

any pics of yours chuff? i don't wanna attract any unwanted attention by the police.

I had mine made up this way, they are legal.

passed all MOTs with them too

as for shep, whats stupid about it ? its a legal plate, legal spaced and legal lettering!! nothing more nothing less ?  just dont see point in a load of blank plate when its not needed?

We cant all like then same thing can we? or we would all be driving round in silly gay Vauxhall chav boxes :wink:

If you're running shortened plates it's a good idea to carry a print out of the plate guidelines to prove they are legal if you are stopped. People with shortened plates over here do so because most cops don't know the ins and outs of number plate sizing, so it's an easy way to keep things hassle free.

just ordered some from here...

http://www.dmb.uk.com/cart.php

requested them to have legal font and spacing with shorter ends but still displaying the BS mark in the corner.  £22.00 for the pair delivered. Just waiting on the transfer docs and the plates to arrive then they will be put on after a trip to beverley dvla.
