SAM9R 0 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I’ve bought an Exige 350 and shall be putting my private plate on the car this week. Given the holder on the rear, has anyone shortened this or come up with another solution? I’d like to use a shortened plate, to show more of the satin black finish on the rear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrP_ 269 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Yep, if you have a 5 or 6 digit plate, you obviously have a far smaller plate but still completely legal which makes the holder massive. So I got a shorter plate made up, removed the plinth and mounted direct 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
