I run a cut down plate on my car but aslong as you have a 11mm border it's legal.

This gives you all the sizes you need to know...

Yeap, exactly as mentioned. As long as you've the 11mm border, also between the letters/numbers and all the correct spacing and the letters/numbers are the correct size and font and your displaying the BS mark then all good.

No laws on short plates as long as spacing correct (as per said above), My mum has a shortened 4 digit plate and my dad has a shortened 3 digit plate, they ahve been on their various cars for upwards of 35 years with no issues from the law
