Import plate on UK 5G rear bumper.....

So, stumbled across a Sparkle Yellow 5G lude on google, and it had an import plate in the ukdm holder. Actually looked decent compared to some UK Honda's with a square plate squeezed onto the boot lid or bumper etc, kinda fitted well and didn't look overly lost in the big UK plate holder.

My question is, will a standard import size plate fit in the space (13" x 7" plate) or would it have been custom made?? I don't have the car with me to check, and want to get a plate ordered up sharpish.

Do you have a link to the pic? I didnt think there was enough room to get a JDM style plate in there.

Here is YellaLudes thread from way back. You might be able to find what he did to get that plate in there

So far ive added the import reg plates, lost the oem reg holder, semi shaved the rear, CF H badge, some JDM(ish) stickers lol, and a richbrook gold tax disc holder God damn i need more money!

Oh and i cleaned the engine bay abit! Still not a patch on my old B16A2 tho!

I don't think a jdm size plate will fit

I think the UK holder is less than 7".

I reckon a standard UK plate looks better though, imo of course

Jdm square plates on the jdm bumper on the front and rear transform the 5th gen. Hate the uk style. So drab.

Looks angry and like it needs to clean his teeth more...

Done a quick measure and a 12" x 6" plate will fit in nicely.

Will get 1 ordered up as i quite like how it sits in the bumper above, compared to the standard plate which looks lost in the massive space.

I still don't get why anyone would do that. Fair enough the UK plates are a bit gash but IMO if you're gonna have a Jap plate on the back, get a Jap bumper so the correct surround is there.

I have a 12x6 on the front
