options for legal no plate on my new ed30, standard one sucks

[benje]

just wondering if you guys can show me options for changing the number plate on my car, it has a bulky plastic holder with the number plate attatched to it and spoils the front in my opinion, what you got and where from, thanks

Raised carbon letters are legal and look nice mate.

I used (and now have for sale) a us front grill with no number plate plinth.

Means you can use smaller plates if you want etc

i think that really suits strats car, i prefer it to small plates personally, but then i like the look of standard plates

I hate square plates (not stickers) attached to one side - They draw too much attention and look like an afterthought

....WhiteGTI's is/was a sticker number plate - Not strictly legal.

I dropped my whole front plate in Wolverhampton and excluded a plate mount when I fixed my new (legal) plate.

RedRobin your plate is awesome - would love to do that to the front of my car but looks complicated and I'd probably cock it up!

Benje i have put my number plate under the driver side headlight like someone else on here because i jus got the us style smooth grille and i am trying to avoid putting the plate back on the front... because like you said it looks better without it on the front...
i know 9 out of ten people probable wont like it but i decided to give it a go....
another option is what i might do is to put plate back on front but lower down... maybe half way down the smooth grill part...
il post some pics in a min to give u an idea how mine looks...
