Oversized rectangle rear plate is the way to go....... Std size is too small IMHO, but are cheaper to produce hence why some dealers will supply them from new.

LRUK registered/run vehicles are always fitted with the oversized versions on the rear.

530mm x 150mm for the authentic OEM look!

If you look further into number plates then there are two different types of finish too. The original and best looking (again IMHO) are printed with a clear plastic front, effectively laminating the plate. There are cheaper methods where the characters are printed directly onto a think plate with no plastic cover. To the reg plate insane like myself you can see a slight texture to them.

Ady - you're incorrigible !!!

I want the rectangular oversize ones I think (which James mentions) but I'm thinking 3D.... possibly. This is my RRS and I want the same type of plates again.

OK forget the size, can someone recommend a plate that won't fade in the sun in less than 4 months? Silver 2006 2.7 tdv6

OK Demon plates do 535 mm x 152 mm so I think that will fit fine as back plate. Now it's asking me for a slogan..... err think I might just leave it blank.....

Slogan........definitly leave it blank.

Though, I believe Ady has 'honk for a bonk' on his  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Make sure whatever you buy has a BSAU number otherwise they are in the eye of the law illegal and just show plates.

@ James......I wonder what the equivalent of trainspotter is for number plates  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Hi Emma.

James is right make sure the plate has a BSAU number, depends where you are the police can get quite funny about it (found them checking mine a couple of weeks ago, said they were cracking down on misuse of plates ?)

When your Tax Disc comes back you'll get a Number Plate Authorisation Certificate with it, take this in with ID and they'll make your plates. Martyn

I checked and I've ordered them off Demon Plates. They have BSAU145d shown on all their plates... phew ! Who'd thought it could be so complicated ? I got large rectangular plate for back, single black border, black 3D letters and no slogan..... thanks everyone - you've been really helpful

That's great. so OK what's the Plate ? Martyn
