Hi mate, pick of mine, plates as i got them as company who did them dont cut them, standard size plate and lettering. then plates after i measured and hacksawed them down (very carefully) then just skipped the edges off with a 180 sanding disc.











Yours will look even cooler mate with only 5 didgets ya Jammie Sod Ha Ha. Mark

Heres a couple of mine. These are as small as you can go, with the smallest border you can have, standard size letters with proper spacing.

Mines definatly 100% legal mate. Well it is according to the dvla site with all the current measurements and requirements.

Did you actually get a ticket for it and if so what reason did they give?
