    Anybody got a pic of their car with a narrow number plate?

    Have a cherished plate on mine and rather than messing about with the spacing and risk getting a tap on the window by Percy Plod, I think the narrower, shorter length plate is the route to go.



    Thanks, in advance

    As above at least 11mm each side. Not a huge fan of short plates

    I think it's fancyplates I got mine from - standard width, standard font but 3/4 height. Fronts only, and have gone through 7 MOTs on one car and 3 on the other with no issues.

    Mine are not private plates though, just what the car came with when it was registered

    Think I got mine from a place called showplates and as above all legal just shorter as I only have 5 digits. I only have the a short plate on the rear.
