I have had mine cut down for years and never had any problems.
It has legal letters and spacing, just cut the empty ends off

Because number plates are ugly enough as it is so making them smaller helps get rid of them! I cut both the front and rear down on both mine and my girlfriends car, looks much better and fits int he recess better.

I'm not usually a fan of cut down plates but they don't at all look out of place on either of these cars. Then again it could just be the cars as I love them both, especially the Astra!

I've had no bother with my 3/4 plate since i've had it.
Looks better than "Cut down" plates too IMO.
Small plate would look good on a new Punto though!!

Everyone always promotes these guys:
www.fancyplates.com
I've never used them but give them a try. There bound to have all sorts of forms in place to cover the 'show use only'.
