Rear Plates, large or small?

[Pacemaker1000]

Don’t really know why Jags have larger rear number plates in the UK?
But what do you prefer?

Small on my F-Type. The selling dealer tried to put a large one on but I insisted it was changed.

I’m leaning towards small but dealer fitted large and even did my private ones the same

No option for small and short

When I looked at mine in the showroom it had a small plate on it but by the time I went to pick the car up the dealer changed it for a large one with the dealer name on it. It looked hieous (to me) and I complained that it wasn't what I'd bought. They quickly made a small one and fitted it before I drove away.

Do you mean a cut down plate?
Looks too boy racer for me

Still don’t know why but...
Remember some Rovers like the 75 had them too

I fitted the larger version to fill out the shaped area...

I cannot see why you’d want to make an ugly bright yellow plate bigger than the minimum legal size, but each to their own.

Is it actually bigger though?
Or just a normal one rounded off at the bottom?
Sat contemplating this important issue before a walk and late pub lunch

Yours look larger than normal UK plate size?

Ah yes - I’m a hybrid

Yep. Much bigger. And, IMO, much uglier.

I thought our number plates were a set size, legal requirement etc.

There are a bunch of rules about them but the actual plate only has to be at or above a minimum size that ensures letter size/spacing/border is legal

I see, thanks GusA.

Private plate fitted today and went small even though dealer made me a big one

Dealers, eh? You'd think they'd ask.

Car delivered with them in the boot. Never thought to ask as never had to before. Must be a Jag thing?
Dealer was Stratstone wonder if they all do it?

I did not know there was a choice - does it come from JLR or do you purchase the larger rear plates. I am not sure a larger plate looks right ?
