I prefer new one for sure, is that smaller than standard size.
Would like a smaller one when I get mine but been told it could be illegal.
Very nice DMB rules

Yeah Tainton, it is 3/4 the size of a standard one. I know there are people that have been fined for the plate not being " standard " but you usually get a warning first and it depends on the coppers mood

I ordered it on the 18th of December and it turned up today. Have you e-mailed them? When I did they got straight back to me saying it was down to the postal service who had a back log due to Christmas and New year???

Deka, in Fancyplates defence, they have LOTS of trouble with Royal Snail. They managed to lose 2 sets of plates that I ordered, sent 1 sent back before it even arrived at my front door, then they managed to lose them. Be patient with Fancy, I was angry with them until I realised it wasn't thier fault.

I've ordered a couple of sets through fancyplates in the past and they have taken a week to ten days to come through. Have been chuffed with the quality though on both occasions!

Looks good mate.
Wouldn't even think you'll get pulled with that either.
Mine is 300x90 and i've never been tugged.

You can order a plate on it's own from fancyplates.
I ordered a front one as i broke mine.

Sorry but don't like it, it just looks far more in ya face than the old one, a big white square on the front of a dark coloured car, instead of a thinner but slightly longer one, to much white for my liking but if your happy with it thats all that matters isn't it.
does it not also interfear with air flow to the radiator?
ignore me I am an idiot and just reread the before and after bit.

Cheers fellas, your opinions are much appreciated. Off to Scooby clinic on Saturday to hopefully get a front splitter. That should finish the front end off nicely..
