Has anyone tried fittnig standard long UK plates to a pre facelift Legnum ?

I have found an intersting reg. but it only really makes sense if only on one line.

I presume you mean a long rectangular one, rather than the square shape?

To fit a long reg on a normal front bumper you need a special adaptor plate which fits behind the number plate and in the quare plate recess. Most motor factors can supply them. Dont know how much tho, £15??

Thanks all !

I would imagine it wouldn't take too much effort to make up some spacers.
