rear number plate size
looking to replace both my number plates as the dirt is getting between the layers and its one of those jobs that makes a big difference having clean clear looking plates , easy i thought standard oblong number plates untill i saw an x5 with a bigger rear plate filling the rear appature nicely and i quite liked how it looked so i am thinking would this of been the size from the dealer when new .
Re: rear number plate size
No...they would have been standard size plates fitted new from the dealership.
Re: rear number plate size
Not sure but bigger than standard would be illegal I think. Are you sure the plate was bigger and it wasn’t a standard plate within a surround?
Re: rear number plate size
RR sports and Rover 75's have the big plates that fill the shape of the licence plate recess,
They look to be dealer fit
The regs usually focus on minimum size, and relate to lettering, not the plastic background.

Re: rear number plate size
i think the bigger plate suits a bigger car and it fills the recess a treat which i think looks more oem , as for the exhausts they are remus stainless one of the best mods i have done makes the v8 burble like it should
