Having looked throught the Photo archives on this site I am a little confused on what size number plate to fit on the front.
Lots of cars seem to have small ones about 9 inches wide. Are these legal?
How small can I go?

NO they are not legal

In the above link does anyone think the bit that refers to
"Vehicles that do not have Whole Vehicle Type Approval"
and,
"The Vehicle's construction/design cannot accommodate standard size number plates"
applies to us?

Nope that only applies to imported
vehicles.
My front plate has cost me £60 so far
in fines in 5yr spread over that time not
to exp and not once told to change it evan
escapes mot as an advisery.
My advise stick to std rear but a smaller
front as they cant see that following you
thats mine below look much
better that std

My mate just kept his tucked down the side of his seat. When he got stopped he just explained that he had hit a traffic calming bump and so he had
picked it up to refit when he got to a safe place to do so.
Worked every time!

i have a full size rear and a small front how ever the front has the correct colour anf letter style
My old evo number plate was 8" x 2"
The best line by a traffic copper was "Oh it is a number plate i thought someone had left the price tag on it"
I just laughed and then got a good talking to..Apparently having a small number plate is against anti terror laws or something
The fines £30 everytime your caught
I kept the plate as it cost me a fortune in fines

full size stick on plate.
(before you ask, is illegal too but at least it is correct size).
One way to reduce the size is to get a personalised plate. Mine was only 5 characters long and I bought a standard plate which had big gaps at the end and cut the ends off.
