Hi all,

Looking to get some shorter pressed number plates (enough for six digits). Ive seen them about before but not sure where to buy, they are only long enough for the six digits, look really smart.

Can someone send me a link? Need to be road legal.

    However, you CAN buy legal Shortened plates. They simple reduce the border to the absolute legal minimum whilst maintaining the legal font size, spacing & alignment and tiny yet readable supplier info in the corners. I know somebody that just cut there plate down and smoothed the ends
