Shame we have to have number plates!
 

The hawkeye was definately designed not to have a plate!

Still, fitted my now legal plate and actually turned out ok. Standard fornt, short plate.

Looking good...when you putting the lights in the oven then ??

More to the point when you doing mine? :mrgreen:

It looks lush without the plate Steve, looks bloody good with too though :ok:

Stealth look without the plate very smart!!

I cut my plates down years ago. Who would have thought a standard plate could be cool

Looks good Steve. Where did you get the plate?

I cut mine with a chop saw then filed on the radius on the corner then polished up the edges for that factory made look and took only an hour to do.

There is a place in Eastbourne on Lottbridge Drove who does them, so local for you Phil. PM me or Marcus (Munk) for more info.

Plate looks the business Steve!!


:wagon::SMBLU:

If Darth Vader drove a car that would be it! Looks stunning!

What's the smallest size plate you can get away with guys

Its around 13-15mm border. I measured the gap from the top of the letters to the edge of the plate then made the border on the ends the same. Mine have been like it for years and never been an issue with mot as it is a standard plate

I'm sure I read on the DVLA site that the minimum gap/space around the letters is 11mm.

Thanks guys. LOL at darth vader!, thanks matey. The plate came from platesforcars and this size is the smallest legal size.

Mine is a lot shorter than that as there is only 5 characters check my pic to see how small with the legal border.

Corrected to say that is the shortest legal with 6 characters. As Gav says, it can be shorter still with 5 characters.

Looks good Steve:10: but, it does look like you could still shave a bit of the edges as they look over 11mm?

What have you done with the rear? I always like the larger (oversized)plate on the back myself:nod:

Totally agree with you mate, think alot of car look better with out numberplates, when i had my rx7 every pannel on it curves and flows then youve got a big length of white plastic stuck on the bumper :-(

Oversized all the way!
