Think i'll stick with the UK plates TBH, Even though imports are seemingly allowed smaller plates using a UK one is going to save alot of bother and hassle with the feds

I've had 64mm size letters on my plates for about seven years. I've never been pulled even once in all that time.

I keep a printout of the regulations just in case.

size and spacing of characters

___________________________________________

Size and spacing of characters: special cases

14A. — (1) This regulation applies in relation to any vehicle imported into the United Kingdom which—

(a)does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval; and

(b)is so constructed that the area available for the fixing of the registration plate precludes the display on the plate of a registration mark in conformity with the requirements of regulation 14.

(2) In relation to a vehicle to which this regulation applies—

(a)each character in the registration mark must be 64 millimetres high;

(b)the width of each character of the mark, other than the letter “I” and the figure “1”, must be 44 millimetres;

©the width of every part of the stroke forming a character in a mark must be 10 millimetres;

(d)the spacing between any two characters within a group must be 10 millimetres;

(e)the vertical spacing between groups of characters must be 5 millimetres;

(f)the width of a margin between the mark and the top and lateral sides of the registration plate must be not less than 5 millimetres;
