Default Number Plate Question

Im putting my order through for my personalised number plates tonight, and i was wondering what ppl think about ordering 'one of each' (being one normal for the boot and one slimline for the front)

Does this setup suit EL's? Does anyone have this on there EL's??

Thanks Paul

in my opinion i reckon that any car with the large rear, with slimline front plate looks good. if i were you i would go this way. the only cars that should have slimline front and back are jap sports cars as they have a slimmer mounting place at rear for the numberplate.

I always go one of each because I hate seeing mounting holes where the plate should be.

i think you should go normal on the front and rear ,otherwise if you have a slimline on the front there will be a gap under the number plate ,itll look crap , when i get plates soon ill prob go normal plates for that reason.

bog plus paint is good for filling plate holes if you want slimline... thats what im gonna do with the NC when i get my plates...

but IMO the rear of an EF doesnt lend itself to slimlines........

Just ordered my plates then, I got both standard size in black. The word on the plates can wait for everyone to see on the 20th cruise!

John, you know! so please dont tell any others.

Thanks Paul
