Are your browser plugins uptodate? Especially flash?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

are smaller plates like that legal?  Just if you have a 5 digit plate then I wondered if your likely to get police attention.  I used to have one years ago and never had any problems - just wondering as I may put one on the front on the mini  :wink:

when you say border you just mean distance from letter to plate edge? 

So the importany bit really is the border then.

[taken from DVLA web]
Your number plate should show the correct:

•character height - 79 millimetres
•character width - 50 millimetres (except the figure 1 or letter I)
•character stroke - 14 millimetres
•space between characters - 11 millimetres
•space between groups - 33 millimetres
•top, bottom and side margins - minimum 11 millimetres
•space between vertical lines - 19 millimetres
