Daz I dont honestly know the size but it filled the whole gap top to bottom. It was just a square(ish) front plate. The garage actually fitted it for me after seeing one on their demo car. It was a private plate and I didnt know until I came to sell the car and remove the plate. It had rubbed the lower plastic lower lip of the bumper and left a line.
I think the problem was that it bent in the wind and pushed onto the lip. The only way I thought was to fit some of the clear protective tape (the stuff the put of bonnets to stop stone chips) to stop it but even that could may leave a mark I guess.
I think one or two other people have had the same problem but other havent so it may all be in the fitting.
The other thing I thought was to use those double side numberplate fixing pads on the lip to hold the plate away, again I dont know what sort of mess they might leave. Decided not to fit one to my import just in case. They do look good though.

I personally think they look terrible...
Go for a smaller normal plate.... cut each ends down and perhaps go for a slightly smaller font.... as long as it is only just smaller, police shouldn't trouble you.
Or go for your square one and block the air to your radiator!
