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

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 :)

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.

I'm going to produce the rear as it is and change front back to the standard uk (ugly) size plate for the time being then take it from there I think! As a family run business, with a combined experience of nine years in the industry in replacing custom number plates. We supply number plates free with daily deliveries to all areas Uk, . New number plates may not be the most exciting purchase you have ever made but custom replacement plates but certainly will change the appearance of your vehicle.
