Number plate

(1/2) > >>

hairyasswelder:
I know the letter font size and spacing are legally defined BUT...... can I chop the sides off as I have a 5 digit plate and am trying to fabricate a winch bumper and have run out of room  :roll:

I need to crop about 2" off each side which would still leave a border and fit on my bumper  ;)

J.D.:
I would think so mate, the rear numberplate on a Rover 200 (I think its a 200) is an odd size and they are legal, so I would think so.

carbore:
I think there is a minimum size required between the edge of the number/letters and end of the plate. Therefore a minimum plate size but not maximum (or if there is is a big one plate size) You may be thinking of the Rover 75 with the big rear plate.

JumboBeef:
I *think* the law is only really tight on post-2001 motors, so if you are before this, I wouldn't worry.

My 1991 Defender has a six digit reg and I cut down the front plate to fit a winch bumper more than four years ago, and so far, no problems!

At least your thinking of having one not like other folk.
