The regulations regarding plates is only concerned with having the correct size border around the characters, as long as the border is there the plate remains legal. There is no set size the plate needs to be. Altering characters to look like another is however illegal.

Yes. I think it's 11mm you need between letters and edge of the plate all round.

If you want and can accept my honest opinion then it's because it makes you look like a cheap skate cunt who cant afford a decent plate and has to alter something to read somethign else.

If you dont want or cant accept my opinion then only read this bit

luckily i got the plate i wanted and dont have to mess about with screws here and there... you only get a couple of chances with the plate if you get caught and the DVLA will take it off you...

if you like it .... thats all that matters

The problem also is, you'll be pulled all the time and as said above, can lead to the plate being removed!

I didn't say you were a cheap skate cunt I said that the plate would make you look like one.

However I'm now a little upset at your character assasination on myself

Last time I checked you couldn't get an "I" on private plates????

Go check the pic gallery and see if I'm a cheapskate cunt with a screw in my plates

Now 2/10, nice try.

No dodgy screws in any of those too just spaced a little differently like yours.

You forgot one too RAN 666S > no need to space it or put shit screws in either

Nice try, but pmsl

What planet are you on? NONE of my plates will ever or ever have been mis-spaced, have silly screws or be mis-represented as I am not a cheapskate cunt and don't want to look like one!

So why are mine spaced differently?
