Where online sells cut down number plates, ones that are still legal?
Usually use fancy plates but its either standard uk, evo size or 3/4 like I have on the front.
Want the back one to still be legal, would rather buy than cut myself

Well halfords were useless and apparently can only do them standard size
Soon as I mentioned number plates at autosave he started lecturing me about my illegal front plate so I soon fucked him off as it was nothing to do with my front plate
Ebay it is

These are the legal 3/4 plates I bought from halfords a few months ago.
This is the illegal stick on jobbie I had on the Evo. Got it made up at a local vinyl place for a tenner. I got stopped by the traffic cops with this as they spotted me in the passing and didn't see it. As soon as the guy saw it he apologised and said he thought I didn't have a plate. Bit of luck I thought lol.

Aye seems lucky, Iv had no bother in over a year with my 3/4. Think because it sits level with the bumper whereas standard one would overhang so its the perfect size and theres no massive plate recess behind it.
Autosave boy was a fag and got all high and mighty about plates and whats legal, whats not and about companies being fined and what not. Like I was interested
