Default show us ur smaller front plates

bit of an odd one really, but i'm after a smaller (illegal) front plate (for shows of course!) and im not sure what size to order! i want it smaller, but not stupidly tiny so u get pulled every other mile!

anyone got pics of theirs and the sizes too?

cheers
