Ah my parents live there so i’m up all the time

plate on yesterday

thinking about getting some shorter plates made but it’ll expose a bit of the holder on either side, wondering if it would look ok with the car being black anyway or if it would look rubbish?

that’s roughly how much of the holder would end up exposed.

 

[Woodcutter]

I personally think cut down plates look a bit naff.

Looks great as it is.

 

[DaddyCC]

You'll not really notice it with black on black. Get er cut!

 

[NickR]

I'm with @Woodcutter ...stick with the standard size.

I had trimmed ones made up for the M3 and took them straight off as it just didn't look right.

 

[Ben]

Can the holder be removed? Only looks decent if there is no holder and the bumper has been smoothed. Or if the holder is the same size as the cut plate.

 

[Mr.Mint]

A cut plate would only cheapen it imo.

Std is just perfect.

 

[ChrisL]

No plate at the front gets my vote lol

If you had to cut it id keep it the standard length but maybe just alter the top and bottom, same as what I did on the alfa, to get it to line up with a vent or line in the front bumper.

if there is a full size holder then a smaller plate would look gash

nicer font would be nice though, the "almost full size metro" is nice and not too obvious

 

[ChrisL]

If its not a proper holder etc in place and you could run a cut plate I dont find this reduction offensive. Just lining up perfectly between the front bumper pieces top and bottom ...

 

[Big Pimp]

plateless FTW!

 

[riano]

front plate was coming off so removed it from the holder and asked Merc to look at it again when I was getting the Mercedes Me app activated.

A normal plate lined up perfectly with the size of the holder as below

and for some reason instead of just screwing the front plate in place like it originally was they’ve put a horrible holder on it that’s bigger that the original holder behind it and that sticks out at the bottom

 

[pablo]

dear god

 

[Nickyyy]

Short plates for me, think they would look well on your car

 

[RevT]

A set of proper 3M sticky pads warmed up with a hair dryer / heat gun will hold that plate on no problem.

 

[Ben]

Take the plate out of the holder, and take the holder off the bumper. See where the mounting holes are. Then get a plate made that's just long enough to cover the screw holes. Think that could look best.

 

[Captain Starlet]

I would personally just remove it and pay the fines, it would look so much cleaner.

 

[B.M]

Would need a nice reg to set it off really.

 

[Marc C]

plateless FTW!

Forgive the sheer cheek of comparing an old E46 to this beauty, but agreed on the plateless shout

 

[ALN]

Think I saw you in Carrick yesterday?

I've posted before in here static plates. They seem to be transferable and can throw them anywhere on the car on and off.

@Alemsee yeah that would have been me up there on Saturday. Got a paint correction done a couple of weeks ago and its looking much better now.

Looked and sounded amazing and you were only crawling going over ramps. So throaty

 

[riano]

thanks @Alemsee I think I would have had my girlfriends 80 year old step dad in the car with me if it was when I was going over ramps so car would have been in quiet mode

Thinking of getting a Renntech exhaust valve controller for it so it’s super loud all the time
