Wickie Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Import plate standard is 13ins x 7ins front and back, you can have any size plate as long as the txt and font (numbers & letters) are the standard size and there is at least 10mm of number plate around the txt, if you google it on DVLA site it will give you all the info you require to keep you legal. Hope this helps and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick_66 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks for the welcome, thats good to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooney6000 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Did you see mine at knockhill mate? Like Wickie says, the size of the plate isn't important, as long as the clearence between the letters/numbers and the acrylic border is legal, and the font is in the correct size! The square / import plates look good, and if you go to any automotive shop eg. Halfords they'll make up a perfectly legal one for you. Hope that helps http://www.newreg.co.uk/services/dvla_number_plates/acrylic_plate_rules I know it's not the DVLA but this online dealer has the information avalible which may be of use to you!

sr666 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'd personally go for a 13 x 6.5 and have it on the one line. If you fancy faffing about with designs etc then maybe have a lookie here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260829259794?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYK Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Try demon plates? They do some nice plates and all 100% legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 but legal... Seems a lot of the ebay places aren't in compliance with the DVLA guidelines. Demon Plates are on my car and I really like the domed effect of them.. I was happy to pay £50 out when if I had a dodgy plate and someone pulled me over and noticed I'd get a £60 fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2FNG Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I use A1 show plates. Quick delivery and great plates. I went for 13 x 6.5, that fits the jap plate holder I got brilliantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
