Remember to specify them to make the size of plate and font as small as possible for an import within legality.

The sizes are specified on the DVLA website but they should know anyway (as im sure they get lots of requests).

Lol. For the first time in over two years, I got pulled for my plate! Police were doing spot checks in the middle of Salisbury on Saturday evening. Guy said it didn't conform to the required standard. I said 'its an import'. He said 'I know, but its too small'. I said 'it meets the DVLA requirements for imports'. He said 'oh, I recall something about import sizes' and went off to look at my front plate again. By the time he was back, I'd grabbed the DVLA requirements I keep in the glovebox :p He said 'actually I've seen a lot worse and, after checking, I'm happy with the size of the lettering'.

:p :D

I am just about to place an order for my number plates. I don't have the car yet, so can someone confirm the width of the standard rear plate aperture? Most seem to be 13" but there is a 14" option and I want the plate to be nice and 'snug'.
