I've spaced my front plate 'CC Z4 50' but returned the rear plate to legal spacing after the anxiety of being followed by a traffic cop a couple of times :cry:

I won’t worry about my shortened plate then!
Mine is a five digit plate and has 12mm before and after the digits. First mot is due Sept next year.

Yup - I wanted a non-age related plate myself. Also think it makes it marginally more interesting? All is vanity, of course.

I like the private plate on mine. People look at the car and say it's not very old, when I tell them it's 15 years old they are flabbergasted :rofl: :thumbsup:
