SnappyChariot 6 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 Looking to remove the front number plate brick, just wanted to know what is the minimum width for a number plate to cover the holes left behind. I want the number plate to remain legal, but only having a 5 digit plate I can afford to lose some of the extra width whilst retaining the mandatory 11mm surround. Ta in advance.

Ryan1884 3 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 I have a short plate front and back on mine, both 355x111mm all lines up with standard legal sizing and spacing 1 SnappyChariot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surrey86 352 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 The hole left behind are pretty close together, you're not likely to have a problem - especially if keeping it legal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodename47 446 Report post Posted September 10, 2018 Just unscrew the numberplate from the brick and you'll see the mounting bolts underneath. I have a short 5 digit on mine and the screws are nowhere near the edge. You an see it in the B and K: 1 SnappyChariot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Motoshowplates are usually pretty good, if you email them with what you want if it's not on their online builder they can normally do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kodename47 446 Report post Posted September 11, 2018 Just got mine from here:https://www.fancyplates.com/main/constructors/information/custom_size_plates.aspx Do the custom sizes. You could even try a 3/4 plate for the front if you want. £26 for front and rear. Just remember to add you want the BSAU 145d on the bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KobayashiMaru 28 Report post Posted October 6, 2018 What size screws do I need for this? The one that came with the car the dealer used random ones and screwed into the brick... We did go down the pressed plate route but sticky pads never last and now I'm thinking it would be better to take off the brick and go down the import plate route.
