Metal number plate Or Not ?

I have a 5 digit number plate and considering some short pressed number plates to adorn the Mustang..
Will go for short but regular oblong ones, not the yank style as they are too big imo..

Anyone fitted..and are you pleased with the quality?

This is an aluminium plate that I had fitted when I first got the car... aluplates don’t do a short plate so I had to cut it down to suit..



Later swapped for a sticky one... which I much prefer

Mines a bit shorter looks loads better than original

Mine are the same width as an American plate, but not quite as deep. Look loads better than the std. 52cm width.

I've ran a pressed alu plate for over a year, love it. Didn't cost a lot, and worth it.

Not retroreflective = not legal so check that. It can be British Standard marked and still not retroreflective so be cautious. Stamped non retroreflective plates are only allowed on cars first registered before a cutoff date which was a fairly long time ago. 2001 or something.

Well ordered up some pressed number plates ..finally
and overall very pleased with them

Wasnt expensive so guess would give it a go.

Lowered the rear ones, so looks far better imo and centered now.

Going to source some small LEDS to fit into the bumper fixing holes..me thinks..

Look really good Pete. I plan on going aluminium plates once mine is delivered also. Unfortunately my funds would only stretch to a 6 digit plate.

Bought that for my `67 Fastback a few years back..

Thinking over some great ideas for the engine bay now..
