Not legal for road use and an easy pull from the rozzers.

Any place doing show plates on the internet should be able to sort you out though.

As said, there's a shed load of show plate makers online who cater for different sizes, I had to use one to get a US size rear plate made to fit a mustang..... a while ago now so can't remember who it was.

It's also not to hard to trim down a normal plate once made..

However, not legal so done at your own risk especially if you go quite extreme.

Here's the basics on plates and the law

No worries, also here is a site that does 3/4 size front plates amongst other things.

Plenty of other sites do the same and more i'm sure.

It is illegal and @ £30 a fine is it really worth it.

True, however I never ever got pulled up once in the month I had no front plate on. Only once for speeding and I just showed them the cracked front plate with the tape on it and explained it fell off the fresh paint work earlier in the day.  :wink:
