A 200 First??

[Harpham]

Decided to de-dealership the car and sort out new plates whilst I was at it.
Ordered a 3/4 front plate to see whether it could work on the car. I think it looks great tbh...

Getting rid of the crawley down group

Is it fixed with tape? It looks better but I'm amazed people don't just nick them....

 

[TwingoGeekeo]

Double sided sticky normally

High Strength Velcro, so that it can easily be swapped back to standard size if needs be.

Never had that problem tbh... I rolled with a 3/4 plate on my old 172 for about 9months. My area isnt too bad for stuff like that anyway.

I have cut down plates on my car and are fitted with velcro. Works a treat.

The car does look good now! I hate having dealers names on my plates.

 

[clairemae]

i have the 3/4 on mine, only from swapping it from my 172, doesnt look as good as it did ont he 172 though.

 

[Foxspeed]

does look good :thumbsup:

i would have been tempted to have a blue border on the plate with a little moto or something :blink:

 

[St7ckz]

Looks great fella. Where did you get it from?

 

[Arran]

Fancyplates.com... Obviously a custom size.

Thanks for the replies guys.

What size? The same as the 182s? I've got mine in my shed somewhere.

Nope. I thought the same size would be too small for the 200.

I went with 520mm width (standard) and 95mm height (standard = 111mm)

(iirc the 172 ones were 84mm??)

 

[Curley]

You've got it perfect. My view when ordering my plain plates was that the recess on the 200 bumper is perfect for a standard size plate, this is why I didn't get one smaller. Seeing a smaller plate now means I now HAVE to re order lol

No need to thank me haha. Have I started off a bit of a new craze? :-p

£24??? Is that for both plates though? I certainly didnt pay that. £14 for mine (just had the front done).

 

[chappo]

the new plate looks alot better mate.

Thank you? You should be paying for my new one lol. I say alot of 200 owners will be getting one now.

Haha. You can thank me for basically getting you to spend unnecessary money on your car .
