Looks a bit odd when theres a no plate recess. I'd only have a smaller plate if it was a private one with less digits. Just my opinion.

I usually like small number plate but I don't think that suits it

Should have been a touch bigger imo

Looks chav, put the standard plate back on, my cossie had a small plate on it when i bought it, i changed it within a week or so to the standard one as i don't want an excuse to be pulled up by the police. Its totally pointless if ask me.

A vehicle rectification form, comes in handy when you can stamp your own

On cars like S2 RST's or Sierra Cossies where the bumper is "smooth" it looks quite cool.

But, the Focus RS has a cutout for the number plate to sit in, if you smoothed the front number plate recess then fitted a small plate it would look cool. but as it looks in that pic.....sorry but it looks crap

As has already said, that plate is too small. Im ok with small plates and have a cut down plate on the front of my Cossie but that just looks odd.
