Dblock Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I have a Japanese 350z, It as square plates at the front and at the back. I have a number plater with 5 letters, Could i get a number plate that would show the 5 letters in a row and not 2 on top on 3 on the bottom. But could I get this done legally? I don't want any trouble off the 5-0. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 These are the rules so as long as the sizes and spacing were correct you can do it. Not sure the rear would fit the space though. http://www.personallyyours.co.uk/number ... plates.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I have never had any problems. I really doubt you'd get any trouble, especially if you dont have any spaces between letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ian how big is your front number plate. Im thinking of taking of that plastic holder and getting a small plate. but i dont know what size to get or weather it would be a magnet for the fuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ians16 nice car . Thing is my mate got pulled with his one and his was 1 letter spacing was slighty out on purpose of course. I just dont want trouble off the 5-0. I'l go round some garages tomorrow and see if they can hook me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking of taking of that plastic holder and getting a small plate. but i dont know what size to get or weather it would be a magnet for the fuzz Not very big at all.. its prob about 30cm x 8cm?? Havent been pulled yet but I have a feeling it wont be too long. Nurrish just got a vinyl numberplate and it looks 100x better than the stock plates and I really doubt he'll have any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Isnt Nixy's on one line? I have 6 figures on one line in the middle and it was done officially so is legit - however, two of those are number ones which saves a lot of space. 5 should be absolutely fine!

TomS Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Without wanting to start a new thread, where can I get the smallest legal plate from? Is this legal: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Followthe rules here But no, that doesn't look anywhere near legal. Just get a proper size one and be done with it, save yourself the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That definitely isn't legal. As far as I know, there is 1 size and 1 font... Anything else is technically illegal. You'd hope that all other crimes in the country had been solved before the cops turned to this, but if you get pulled and they want to be dicks, it's 3 points and a fine...

TomS Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That's what I thought looking at that one, it seems there are a few sizes possible dependant on length of the numberplate. So 510mm normal, 410mm for 6 letter plate and 350mm for 5 letter plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianphampton Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 . For Info - JDM Rear plate is 13" x 7" I had mine made up like this and have had no trouble from Mr Plod You'll have to go to Show Plate makers to get it done (just Google "Show Plates") as your local motor factor won't do it - but get it done online and they'll do pretty well anthing As it happens the letter sizes in this are exactly the same height as on a UK front number plate so the letter sizes are 'legal' it's just the spacing which isn't I actually carry a set of completely legal plates in the boot, in case I get stopped, but I've never been stopped (and I know for cetain I've been clocked by 2 NPR cameras) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'm just going to cut my existing plate down to fit in the new JDM rear bumper. I can do this because it's only a 5 letter plate which is to the correct size letters spaces etc. It doesn't say anything on the Gov site about plate size just letters, font, style and spaces. If the plate itself had to be a specific size I.e. 20.5 x 4.5 then any car where the number plate was irregularly shaped or larger like the Rover 75 and some jags would also be illegal?

Valid point! Sorry to hijack this thread but just quickly...how is the rear number plate attached to the zed?? Is it bolted internally or stuck on? Need to change my plates but scratching my head over the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The rules are about borders on a plate, not the physical size of the plate. Size of letters, style of letters, space between letters and size from edge of letters to edge of plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to change my plates but scratching my head over the rear Heat it with a hair drier and pull it gently but firmly from the edge and work across It will be double sided tape. The left over stuff should be able to be rolled off by hand with hair drier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUG Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Do I need special double sided tape for the new number plate to be stuck back on with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
