routerbooter 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Is there any particular size of number plate that fits an IS200? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steviewevie 2 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Front is standard size. If you want a rear one that fills the space at the back (as I did), then just use a company that will make custom-sized plates, like DemonPlates, and give them the measurements that you want.

Stevie, what size rear plate did you have? I've been on to the Demon Plates site, and you can get a standard large rear plate, which seems a little too big for the IS200, or the custom plates listed, which are nearly as wide as the standard plates.

Steviewevie 2 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 You're right that their "standard" custom plates aren't the right size. But if you phone up DemonPlates they'll be happy to make you up whatever size of plates you like. The size that I got made for the rear is 510 x 150mm. This is slightly narrower than the gap and slightly shorter, but a fair bit taller than the standard plates. Looks fine to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apologies for digging up an old thread but i don't suppose you have a picture of what your custom sized plate looks like on the back have you. I'm wanting to order a set of plates from Demon Plates but wanted to see what the size you ordered looks like when fitted to the back of the car. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve doesn't really come on here any more so thought I'd help out. I have the intermediate size plate, I remember when I bought the IS there were three sizes that dealers seemed to fit, a standard plate, a large plate (that almost fills the gap) and a medium sized plate (which is the one I have). Not sure on it's exact size but I'll measure it for you and let you know. Here's a pic: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kam05 0 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The standard/UK width of a number plate is 4 or 4.5 inches (can't remember exactly now). If you want a plate that fills up the whole area on the bootlid you need to order a 6 inch width plate- this is what I have on the rear of my IS200. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looked at that site + another one, custom size be interesting but anyone know if other fonts/lettering, numbers are legal? ie wont get stopped/fine by police or mot fail ? i seen some 'german' style font & some other fonts that looks good, there still just as readable & same/smilier size to UK fonts, dont want any stupid 'ghosting' at background or anyting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parthiban 3 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Sorry completely forgot to measure my plate, will let you know tomorrow hopefully! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parthiban 3 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Sorry this took a while, just measured my rear plate and it's 12.5cm high - not sure what standard plate size is but I think this is only maybe 1 or 1.5cm bigger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waveydavey 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Thanks for that.... I'll get mine ordered from DemonPlates tomorrow. :) Cheers Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waveydavey 0 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well typically me i changed my mind again just before i ordered the plates and went for a slightly different size.... In the end i went for 510mm wide by 140mm high. Slightly narrower than a standard plate but it just fills the space nicely all round. And here they are attached yesterday after putting the reg transfer through. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parthiban 3 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Nice one, that looks pretty good - love the colour those LEs came in btw :winky: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyre Tread 58 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Holy thread resurrection Batman! I've been sat in the office looking at the standard rear plate on my IS250 and thinking how horrible it looks having a standard oblong plate in a shaped recess and that a shaped plate would look nice (especially as my rear plate is looking a bit shabby). A bit of research reveals an XF Jag plate would appear to fit quite well. Anyone tried it?
