....

If you want to have a completely legal (in every respect) but without the oem number plate mount, it's about time I posted a How-To.

I've been meaning to but never got around to it. I'll do it and post a link in this thread.

Meanwhile, here's a velcro method : -

What size is that please mate???

Mine (the v22 plate) is 101mm high (11mm+79mm+11mm) by 399mm wide (11mm+50mm+11mm+50mm+11mm+50mm+33mm+50mm+11mm+50mm+11mm+50mm+11mm)

As per the regs here:
http://www.dvla.gov.uk/media/pdf/leaflets/v796.pdf

Normal plates sold are 520mm by 112mm
3/4 plates sold are 390mm by 84mm (I have one of these for the front as well).

They cocked it up,  i ordered a full size set (front and rear) and a smaller front (the one pictured with "cupra" text)

But only recieved full size rear.  Got the smaller front (doesnt have seat logo as i wanted) & instead of full size front, looks like i got an even smaller one (Pictured top with the seat logo)

Not very happy £50 Quality plates just not how i wanted them
