look at my pics and this one!

You can dremel the bolts out of the holder
Others have just tugged the holder off!
It does leave the bolt in the bumper though!

Found another combination I tried

Colour coded blanks in the holes so no need to respray the bumper!

If you can find a JDM bumper in the right colour, that could be a very cheap way of doing things. JDM have only two holes to begin with.

My car is JDM and i didnt like the buck tooth look but then i also can legally run a 2/3 size plate

Please could you tell me where you got the 2/3 size plate from? I'd like to do that as I also have a private plate with the same amount of digits, so should still be legal, as long as the plate decreases in size but the characters don't?

I got the plate from http://www.craigsplates.com but i had to prove mine my car was imported and confirmed with v5 details to issue it at that size. If yours isnt an import then it wont be legal, sorry.

I see, thanks. Seems strange. All I really want is standard size (or very close to) characters, but with a much reduced external size of plate, down to the size of the letters almost. Other then cutting my current one down myself I can't seem to find anyone that does this, even on all the illegal show plates websites.
