Default What FMC plate will i get for the Focus?
Help me pick my plate.

Got stopped and charged by traffic tonight for having smaller than standard plates on the RS been given 21 days to get them changed I hate the look of the standard plate so im gonna get a cheap plate so they are a bit tidier and shorter in length compared to the one on that would be going on now.

After looking for an hour the only decent ones I can find are FMC so im gonna get one. my choices in 2 digit form are.

T26 FMC
R44 FMC
P55 FMC
N70 FMC

Im undecided which one would be best or if there is any difference in the 4 mentioned.

All feedback welcomed

Ginge mate the FMC plates above are £189 and just over £300 transfered onto the car, they also have a bit of history on Fords.

Cheap like the budgie!

Im also not that keen on FRS plates for some reason dont ask why because im not entirely sure myself lol!

that site is not acurate by a long way as the plate circled was owned by beds chairman steveb for some time and my mate bought it from him a few months ago so how can it be for sale ??

Not true, as long as all the digits are standard font and size, you can trim the length of the plate keeping a 11/12mm gap around the edge.

Good shout Steve

LOVING the wheels on the FRS BTW I seen them in a pic on FaceBook painted and I thought they were a bit loud but they really suit the car with the ambers etc!
