i must admit I'm greatly bemused/amused at this topic. fccuking about with the size of the plate & now even making number holes in the damn thing & decating has raised its head now now I'm sure you all have reasons for this but at the end of the day is it really worth all the hassle at the risk of getting pulled by the feds especially when other things may be inspected as well & at a guess if your messing about with a number/plate goodness knows what else that the feds may be interested in just a guess mind you
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Just to let you know that if you get caught with this then it would be a lot worse than having a small number plate. It would be classed as not having a number plate at all! If the plate does not have any digits at all they will not be picked up by ANPR and you will get pulled every time. Even if the cop doesn't notice the plate - the ANPR will not be fooled.

Why raise decats? This is a thread about reg plates. If your really need to get increase air flow into the FMIC that much then I would suggest a better/custom front bumper would be the way to achieve it not cutting tiny holes into the reg plate. thats rite it is about plates..i didnt realise you wasn't allowed to make a an opinion about things on a car being different or a possible MOT failure..as for changing the front bumper some people just wanna keep the stealth look..if you saw the type of plate i was talking about you would see it looks plain and standard..its reflective and the only way to see the difference was if you put your finger through it.. but hey ho..horse to water and all that..

thats rite it is about plates..i didnt realise you wasn't allowed to make a an opinion about things on a car being different or a possible MOT failure
There are 100's of things that are MOT failures but most of them are easy to spot by the plod unlike reg plates. Plates is an easy reason for them to pull you and have a closer look..... ..as for changing the front bumper some people just wanna keep the stealth look..
Fair enough, so do I but I see no need to cut holes in my reg plates. if you saw the type of plate i was talking about you would see it looks plain and standard..its reflective and the only way to see the difference was if you put your finger through it.. but hey ho..horse to water and all that.. execpt for the obvious whitebars holding parts of the letters in place Each to there own I suppose.......

execpt for the obvious whitebars holding parts of the letters in place that particular plate was the 1st prototype..the white bars are now black and invisible until touched.. maybe something for a track day or at the pod then for when you wanna drive there and drive home..

It's just another thing that has the potential to show a bit of individuality, or something that is merely a plate and not something to be messed with. Two schools of thought. However, I put Italian pressed steel plates on mine (and is a personalised plate), love the subtle difference they make. Was thinking about the slightly smaller Italian plates you can get, think they look better, but seeing as my last ones passed an MOT will probably err on the side of caution...

i knew exactly what you were on about, as i said earlier number holes.but really the turbo bumper is more enough designed to cope with enough air flow yes.... to the standard SMIC, however not designed to work with a FMIC. Woody, i really like the thinking behind those plates. i quite like the finished products too.
