Yep.

Only thing missing is the BS mark and postcode :)

I have my std rear and 3/4 front already, but thought I'd go for the safer option of the "legal" plate (but still consderably smaller than a std front).

The legal minimum for a A11 GLF style plate...


What do you mean by this comment?? And why is the legal minimum different for this than another plate? Or is it?

Hmmmmmm?

As in, my reg is "LNN LLL" not "LLNN LLL"

Therefore you can make it smaller... ie 50mm is the min width of a Letter/Number

So someone with a A1 AAA plate could have it as 11mm(margin)+50mm(A)+50mm(1)+11mm(Space)+50mm(A)+50mm(A)+50mm(A)+11mm(margin)

Make sense?

....As I understand it, these two elements are now very much required to make the plate legal :sad:

Only if the plate was made after 2001 iirc....

Mine is a V plate... so therefore could have been made before 2001  :happy2:

or, do what iv done!

have a square one next to one of the fog lights to one side! thing is i know people will poo poo the idea. for those that are going to the meet in nov you can see mine then and make a definitive yay or nay about it!

i think its the best of both worlds. it gets the plate away from the front grill so you can see the design better and also adds to the aggressive look of the car! whack on a carbon mask and your laughing!

on that note, having got an official OSIR mask i found the fit not very good and was rather disappointed. the right side fits perfectly, but the left is slightly too big and doesn't sit well. you cant notice it from looking but i know its there and it annoys me! lol
