YES i know they're illegal but does this look ok size wise?
Its obviously not legal size (whats the point its illegal anyway) but does it look too big/too small? Positioned too far forward?
I think it's when you go too small with them that the police realise your taking the p!ss and pull you...
It will be in standard legal font only slightly smaller

i think it could do with being slightly smaller.
or maybe rounded off edges would make it look smaller?

I guess your making your own? If so where ya getting the materials from??? Got a vinyl front plate on mine and ordered it as a legal size/font/spacing but because its this size its laying over a compound curve. Could do with making it slightly smaller.........
looks good to me, will suit your car as well i think. keeping it at that size will not attract attention as it might do if you made it smaller.

i think it looks too big, but saying that the one on the front of mine is 12" long by a few inches high
"legal size" depends on the number of numbers/letters, as there is a standard size for the characters + an allowance of at least a certain
margin all round. My legal acrylic plate was miles too wide as my reg is Q51 xxx, so the 1 is narrower than most others and I've only got 2
digits. I sawed off 2-3" each side and it still has legal margins.
Personally, I would go for legal size font and trim the background to the minimum allowable size, then argue the toss if a plod wants to get really
picky about the materials, BS mark, etc. The main purpose is so they can identify the vehicle anyway, so as long as it's not too horizontal you
should get away with it

I have just passed my MOT with stuck on "plate"on front of bonnet. Its standard size and standard font, I enquired at MOT and they said as
long as its standard size/font and mounted in as near as vertical position as possible it was OK.

Ive a small one on the front and havent got BS marks on my rear one - has anybody on here been fined etc by the police for not having the correct ones?
Not yet.........
