Onliest Smeg David Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Where are people getting these 75% number plates from? Sounds like a good option Got mine from demon graphics nr Manchester. They do web, phone or at their premises. 75% ?? Depends on your reg number. But they do - smallest legal size letters/numbers, smallest legal gap between them and trimmed to smallest legal surround. Which is a lot smaller than standard plate sizes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 SImply showplates.com (simplyplates.com) do a lot of sizes as do others on the web. Shop around... My plate was 75% in size but used legal character size and spacing and legal 3D font. There are a wide variety available depending upon your attitude to risk.

Wagoneer Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 [pedant hat] of course as you've spaced the 20 away from the initial character and not stuck to the rules of '11mm gap' then it's still illegal [/pedant hat] but the whole number plate issue is interesting. So many people run dodgy plates. Personally, I'd remember a plate that was different, the differences make it more remarkable, to the point that I can still remember seeing a bright yellow Mercedes wearing 'B122 ARE' with a font and spacing that made it read 'BIZZARE'. That was over 20 years ago! My own Wesfield front plate is a stick on, and I hate it. I'll be investigating my options shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Wagoneer you are correct, I did put a space between the S and the 20 (what a rebel eh?). It just looks so neater and more in keeping with the size of the nosecone, than the previous plate. Anyway after buying a full-sized, 75% size, silly small and 2 versions of a stick-on, I'd best not tell the boss how much it cost me to reach a happy numberplate conclusion. Clearly if I could've stretched to less characters (CH1 for eg) the plate would have been even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Mark You wouldn't have your plates on for IVA as it won't be registered yet. I had my plates available as I needed to have a number for the insurance company during the build but didn't fit them as that's a bit presumptuous I think. Tried to use Marks quote but failed miserably its a few above this must try harder. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a school trip to France which timed up with LeMon I saw A5 TON at dover loading onto the same ferry, as well as Noble M12. That was 2004 when I was only just 17 and I still recall it clear as day.
