a98pmalcolm Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) If its an import your letters can be 64mm in hight with a 10mm spaces between each Which in all fairness doesn't look all that bad http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4081/20120226145256.jpg And if you don't want the BS code and the makers name to be visable have them make the text in white on the front and yellow on the back so it blends in with the number plate colour. There is no law stating what colour the text of the BS code and printers details have to be Edited April 17, 2012 by a98pmalcolm (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) If it's an import your letters can be 64mm in height with a 10mm spaces between each...Not strictly true. You can use the smaller plate with motorcycle-size font if the car's bodywork has a recess that is too small for the standard UK plate. That wouldn't apply in the example you posted. Also, you'd probably have to argue the point with the magistrates if there was a "too small" mounting braket between the plate and the actual bodywork.
