I've just replaced the rear number plate on mine for one that's larger than the standard size.

520 x 111mm is the UK standard size, and to cover the little manufacturer's dimple marks in the rear bumper, the plate has to be mounted quite high up. I've always thought it looked a bit odd.

I went online and had a road legal one made which is 520 x 165mm, and I think it fills the available space better.
(If you think it looks sh*t, you can keep your comments to yourself :lol: )

I stuck it on with 3M VHB 5952 double sided tape, the downside being that if the bumper ever needs to come off, the plate may get destroyed unsticking it.
