#1 S1 REAR NUMBER PLATE SIZE?

Post by Northwestern » Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:48 pm

Getting a silver digits on black plate made for my S1 Coupe. Asked what size I want the back plate. Car is away being sprayed and I can't get hold of the chap to measure the space. checked on my Roadster and the plate is 22 X 7 inches which seems very large. Can anyone please let me have the exact sizes for a coupe rear plate or is it the same size as the roadster.

Sousnds the right size and I will measure my one tonight but be prepared to fettle it to fit the appature as the plate usually comes rectangular and the appature actually has a curved top.

Sorry for the delay I thought i had replied to this. My rear plate is 7.5" high at its tallest point. This allows the plate to fully fit the aperture and have no surrounding paint visible.
