Re: big numberplates or small numberplates???
ha iv just had to put my stock one back on for the mot and cos of the tail tidy I have on mine it was covering half the exhaust outlet and in a 2 mile trip to and from test centre it melted the corner off lol
7x5 on the tail tidy loks great, on a stock undertray 8x6 is best I think anything smaller and theirs loads of black plastic around it which looks shit.

Re: big numberplates or small numberplates???
got mine from this guy on ebay (item 130326785822)
its an 8x6 with a full GB strip down the left hand side. It wasnt the cheapest on there but he does a an area wher you can experiment and preview the plate with different fonts etc
Its not too small, but i keep the original, legal one under the seat with some laggy bands and a bit of velcro just in case!!!

ive made a templete up for one and its hard to tell the difference from the standard size, if you buy them from there you can even get the BSA sticker saying its legal which might confuse the dumbest of coppers
