harry 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 good evening all, ive just secured myself a vw related private reg number, it only has 5 characters and i was wondering, without altering the font and style are you legally allowed to make the actual plastic plate that bit smaller in the horizontal direction? i have seen a few done in this way (tatton park recently) and if so whre is the best place to get them made up and what is the best method of attaching them?.i currently have ABT TUNING etc surrounds on my car.

Earwig 89 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Anything other than standard size is illegal.Just depends what you want to try and get away with.Chances are that most coppers would not look twice at it. But if you drive like an idiot and get pulled over they will do you for every single thing they can.If you don't stand out then it's worth the shot !Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I cant find a statute saying a plate must be a standard size. The letters must be, obviously, and there's a minimum spacing between letters and the edge of the plate. Keep to those and you should be alright.This link has some picks of the permissable layouts and details of spacing: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2001/20010561.htmTG Link to post Share on other sites
