Re: 7x5 plate and the Law?
Tell a lie, just looked on my car and there it is. Never noticed that before I obviously don't clean it enough!

Re: 7x5 plate and the Law?
To put this in as a question/ what I've been told by a plate maker.
I've got a reduced size plate made and it works you to be 6.8x6.5 and is still legal through the plate sequence (*411 C*R).

Re: 7x5 plate and the Law?
After fitting LED indys, I felt the standard sized plate slightly obscured my turn signal from a car drivers point of view. So I thought that, although not strictly legal, I'd go for a smaller sized plate (7x5.5) to make sure the indicator could be seen better. Can always swap back for MOT time.

Re: 7x5 plate and the Law?
I have had a slightly smaller plate for donkeys years and never had a problem but I will add it only has six digits.
