aha

cheers thats what i just found but dunno if it applies to me

The vehicle does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval

whats that mean?

Display of Vehicle Registration Marks on Imported Vehicles

(which have a restricted space for a standard sized number plate)

Certain imported vehicles may be permitted to display number plates with smaller characters if:

The vehicle does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval

AND

The vehicle's construction/design cannot accomodate standard size number plates

Specifications for smaller sized plates (for certain imported vehicles)

Character Height

64mm

Character Width

44mm

Character Stroke

10mm

Space between characters

10mm

If your car is an import and had to go through an SVA test (Single Vehicle Approval) then it doesn't have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval which refers to a manufacturer getting approval for the model he wishes to import. As your car is a "grey" import it doesn't have the UK number plate sized fixings and so can have 2/3 sized letters/numbers.

wickid!

loop hole then

so those mesurements are ok for my car?

[Jimlad]

you can have a JAP sized plate with motorbike sized letters on two lines, or a UK sized plate with full sized letters.

Nothing else is permitted

[jdbecks]

do you have to have a front number plate?

[Jimlad]

do you have to have a front number plate?

[Bibbs]

the minimum size must be bike size, but you do NOT need a border ..

[projectprelude]

but it looks **** without a boarder

[philip27]

you will be fine with motor bike sized plates front and back any thing smaller and you could get pulled.

[Jimlad]

as said earlier...

"you can have a JAP sized plate with motorbike sized letters on two lines, or a UK sized plate with full sized letters.
