I seem to have a knack of busting front number plates, cones usually but they don't seem to last. The last time I bought one, from the local accessory shop, they wanted to know the ins and outs of the proverbial cat's arse hole.

What's the minimum size and where can I easily get a stick on version?

MOTs due soon and I don't want to go with a broken plate or they'll think I ignored their last warning.

TIA

He should be able to make a vinly one for you.

Dont know what the law is though.

they must be valid as alot of classic cars still have them - i.e. e-types.

I had sticky ones on my Pulsar and Metro, but i believe they are not legal although i was never pulled up for them. You can probably get away with them on a trailer and Classics.
Check before using sticky ones. If Ok, most Car Accessory shops do the blank backing and letters.

99 % sure sticky ones are illegal although your car being an import you can have a small one on the front, i'l find out in a min i got the info somewhere and post the size

380mm x 85 is the smallest you can have on an import i belive

That's brilliant info. Thanks everyone

I keep a printed copy of the import size regs in my glovebox, for those special times when you have to prove that your front plate is legal

So are the stick on ones ok then as the backing is reflective

They should pass the MOT Ok at the moment. New stricter rules were brought into the MOT test a few months ago, but they were quickly dropped.
