anyone got any pics of them on there car? also anyone had any bother from the plod with them on, or have a link to the legal size requirements. Reason being i dont fancy covering my intercooler with a plate, so either a removable reduced size one, or adhesive one on my front bumper or bonnet

Mine is a legal plate with the blank space cut off.
It has passed an MOT with it and police at the cruise have never said anything about it and they have checked the whole car.
