Not fitted the rear short plate.. Having the rear painted first....Looks awesome mate. I've just ordered the exact same short pressed plates and an rs4 grille is also on the cards.
How did u attach the plate? Also do u have a short plate on the rear?
Cheers pal..all about the OCD lolLooks neat bud nice work
Cheers pal..all about the OCD lol
I used some old bolts I had, they were 2" long, the grille came with parking sensor fittings, I used them to fit against back of the grille, washers then nuts and voilà......sortedDid the grille come with the fixings to fix the Ali plate to the grille or did u just use your own nuts and bolts?
I have some Ali plate so this sounds like a good way of getting a very clean finish.
Cheers palLooks well @Macdoon good work!
Is it easy to whip off for shows etc?
I just had the same dilema as I need to plastic weld the old removable plate holder shorter (I dont have or know how to plastic weld )
for temporary use, I made the plate releasable with releasable ties, duck tape and epoxy resin:
I have little hands so isnt too fiddly to undo and tie back behind the honey combs.
and the little cusions stop it rubbing/moving.
Yes the short plates are legal so long as the lettering is off the correct font and the edges of the letters are the legal space from the edge of the plate.Are these short plates legal ?
The police here are super anal !

As for fitting.... I cut a thin piece of ali, drilled two holes in it, ground down the heads of two bolts, thin enough so they wouldn't foul the number plate, then bolted the ali platebto the grille, then stuck number to the ali.
Yep could have, but got aflush finish all the sameLooks good, but you also could of countersunk the holes in the ally plate, and used countersunk bolts to get a flush finish.
Manda, I'm slightly in love with the front of your car. The missus and I are current debating on which colour to wrap the bottom diffuser bar and will be ordering an rs4 grille. Thinking candy true blood red for the bottom bar and the bottom section of the mirrors similar to chops yellow!!!!

Where do you guys get your short plates, any online configurators so you can see what it looks like. I use fancyplates.com but they don't do short versions.
poop. just received my short pressed plates from ebay and thought they were 100% road legal but they don't have postcode or bs number.
my fault for not checking the listing correctly.
what shall I do? don't want to get stopped by the fuss
These items you can get away with, its spacing and sizing that will get you pulled up. I haven't BS and post code on any of my plates for the past 16 yrs, never been pulled up on it.poop. just received my short pressed plates from ebay and thought they were 100% road legal but they don't have postcode or bs number.

does their ad anywher imply that they are just show plates? or the latter that they are road legal.
If advertised as number plates and not as show plates then i would ask for a return as 'not fit for purpose'. if they dont accept then you raise an ebay case of 'not fit for purpose' and ebay will give your money back .
@Macdoon I notice you don't have the postcode or bs number. Have u had any problems with the fuzz?
I doubt you ever will, i haven't in over 16 yrs with my plates.Never been stopped for not having the postcode yet
Had a good result on this. Emailed the seller as the rear plate arrived with a scratch on it (see pic) so they said if I email them copy of the v5 they will remake them foc but with the bs number and postcode on so fully road legal.
Also asked if they could make the front plate as short as legally possible.
