Small number plate
As the title says I'm after a small number plate, like this (courtesy of chris245)
Anyone got any idea where to get one? Or perhaps what the size is?

round by me they are fairly on it for things
theres a big scene of chav cunts who race several "organised" race meets near that get police attention and they pick on most modded cars they see on the road

Cheers for the comments guys! I must admit in my area we don't have traffic police but I was pulled once and he asked if I had German registration docs for the car as I had pressed plates. I soon showed him up when I said it didn't have a German flag on the left side and its in a French car so how did he figure it was German. Then I explained I know the registration laws considering I work at Halfords. He then told me to have a good night and left lol.

330mm plates are perfectly legal but only if your reg has 5 digits or less in it

Plates should have:
- the British Standard number (currently BS AU 145d).
- the name, trade mark or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier
- the name and postcode of the supplying outlet.
Font size etc: - Character height 79mm
- Character width (except the figure 1 or letter I) 50mm
- Character stroke 14mm
- Space between characters 11mm
- Space between groups 33mm
- Top, bottom and side margins (minimum) 11mm
- Vertical space between groups 19mm
So - looking at the picture, given that each stroke of the letters are 14mm if the correct font is used (seems to be), then the border around the edge does look to be 11mm.
Look legit to me, other than the missing BS and makers marks.

With the Clio 172/182s this is a popular mod, and people rarely get any problems with them.

I got mine from 'Fancy Plates'. They have a custom plate thing where you can choose your font and size etc. It lets you chose Standard UK legal font though.

This is what mine is like
