Short number plates.

[DennisR]

As I have 5 digit reg. and its legal to use short plates thought I would do so as it does look better than large areas of white and yellow showing. That requires short mounting brackets unless you have a flat area to mount to. The front of the Mach E doesn't so I bought a new bracket and will cut a piece out and plastic weld it back together, job done. The back end is flat so no problem, but I do like to use a mount so I thought I'd buy a new mount for the rear, the front was 40 quid, not to bad, considering the shape so I thought the rear being basically a flat moulding nothing special maybe 20 at most, not a chance, Ford want a 100 quid, asked the dealer to double check, yep, 100, how did they arrive at that ???

I don’t know how they got that sum, but £100 seems insane for a license plate bracket. what are the dimensions of the short plate? If they are similar to the United States plate, maybe you could buy a “universal” plate bracket for a US plate? That has got to be way cheaper than £100. ??

Thanks, us holders no good don't fit my size, someone with a 3 or 4 digit plate would.

A shot of the new front plate, I think it looks much better without the big white wings.
I am having a problem with the join on the bracket, both on the front and rear, they are cracking I need to find a better way of joining.
