Well I managed to scrape the front again tonight and my front plate is looking very tatty, so I could do with a new one.
I just dont know if I should go for a 3/4 one, I do really like them as full size looks a little clunky but mine has done a good job of stopping me killing the splitter and secondly I dont really want hassle off the BIB.
So what are others running? any pics of cars with 3/4 plates to help sway me and have you had any trouble with the BIB?
Advantages to the 3/4 plates will be extra cooling and of course a weight saving
Full size lettering but on a smaller plate. Completely legal but is a direct match for the width of the plinth on the splitter. Very good compromise as the 3/4 plate doesn’t cover the whole plinth.
Gt Grafix (Demon Plates) have done a couple for me. 470mmx96mm.
Spoke to them on the phone then confirmed the order by email as the site didn’t offer that exact option.
It looks ‘scaled’ to the car so not many peeps notice! And to prove this I had my front end ‘Armourfended’ last week (No more blue masking tape!!!) and the chap who ran the business and fitted the stuff is a copper! He made no comment at all!
I’ve got a 3/4 number plate from fancy plates too, look so much better than full size on the exige.
Had 3/4 plate on my vx220 for 5 years and the exige a year before eventually getting pulled - ended up with �60 fine and told to change the plate. Didn’t bother changing it though.
I have also had a few MOT stations fail it on the plate though. I believe they are more stict on this now, but its easy enough to swap this once a yearf or the test.
I got done in my last exige in '06 running a 3/4 size front plate…barstewards!
Not running any front plate at all on my new exige, although I do keep the plate stored behind the drivers seat so if I do get a tug i can say “honestly officer it fell off earlier today…”
No front plate looks even better than a 3/4 size jobbie!
