I had this size number plate on my old GSI. Believe it was 3/4 size but does anyone know what size they are in inches?

Ways around these things.
And you're wrong about the bike plate thing. Mate's got one on the front of a mk3 astra GSi and he's not the kind to break the law.

we are not aloud to sell square number plates or any abnormal size plates at out work acording to the dvla! number plates have to be the same size and leters have to be equal size and spacing, also has to have the bsa stamping and place of production im sure, has been the same for the past 3 years ive worked there,
i fink hes right only import cars are aloud square front plates

u can get anything over the internet or your local market.
the way around the law is calling them 'show plates'

That's what I'd have thought.
Never knew bike plates were illegal though.

Providing they have no marks and postcode's on the bottom of the plates then they are fine as it's illegal to sell plates like that. i have a motorbike sized rear plate on mine and never get hassle.
