Does anyone have a photo of their Macan with a shortened number plate? Would like to see how it would look with a smaller width plate.

Also is it screws that fix into the body or is it stuck on with double sided tape?

Thanks!

Back is possible, but you'll need a shortened plinth for the front. A narrower plate on a standard plinth I don't think would look good at all

I’ve used double sided tape to fix my number plates.

Always use double sided tape to secure mine, much tidier than screws.

I also love shortened plates.

Mine is 5 digits and I could only place it on the rear. The front has a holder with screws sticking out, so wasn't ideal at all.

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Shortened rear plate but not too tight to the digits.

I have a four digit reg and always thought it looks best on a full sized plate.

Apologies about the delay in uploading the photos as promised.

I have a 5 digit plate and it just fits to cover the original screw holes for the rear.

The front has a plastic cover behind it, where the plate attaches to and a short plate would look odd, as you'll see the plastic cover behind the plate on either side. Hence why I went for the standard sized plate on the front.

Hope that helps.
