love it...i think i'll wait a little lnger buddy for results....
my heart is saying offset...my head is saying middle - mainly cos middle seems to be the DC5 thing
but offset seems to 'float my boat'.....
we'll see...no doubt someone will say " its your car do what you want"....which doesnt really help...
anyway asmuch as helping me out this poll shoudl condense the thoughts of the many sticky plate placemtn topics we have on here....so its helping the masses as much as me :lol:

Middle for me. I am going to order one off fancyplates.
When ordering from fancy plates, does it give you an option for a stick on plate and what is the legal size dimensions i have to ask for.
The website is a bit confusing, when you dont have a clue what size of plate you want
Paul :wink:

scales are swaying now...
as much as I like the offset position my job as a piping designer has the draughtsman in me crying out for symmetry lol
Symmetry is great but im not sure on this one. Maybe I'll photocopy the plate and stick it on in each position and try it for looks…bit of the 'old school draffy cut and paste'
As for prices I used mook, his details are on here.
I asked for a std import font at 64mm high which is legal. I alo asked that the plate overall heoght didn’t get too large to start going off the flat of the front of the bumper.
With that fixed height in mind mook said a 60mm font would look more correct not having the 64mm font right up to the edges of the plate.
So I went for it. Plate is 300mm x 83mm high and has 60mm font.
Looks great and is £15 delivered.

LOOKING LIKES its gotta be middle then... 8)
as for legality im not 100% sure but many guys over the years have used them on cars and lots of guys use them on DC5's without any bother.
i suppose if a cop wanted to he coudl stop me and get his ruler out to check the dim's of the plate but they dont even stop all the 'foglight w**kers' these days so to stop me for a plate woudl be unlucky.
the fact that its correct font/spacing helps.

to be hinest i put the plate up against the one on the ar last nite, to compare the 64mm legal height font against hte 60mm on the sticky plate.
very hard to tell and once in place it will be even harder to tell.
you would have to get a ruler out to measure it.
but to look at it looks perfectly legal. non of this silly font/spacing lark thats crying out for a 'pulling' from the fuzz.
pics to follow once fitted
also photocopied it today at work so i can try the plate in each position and have a look-see at it...
happy days
