Don’t really know why Jags have larger rear number plates in the UK?
But what do you prefer?

Small on my F-Type. The selling dealer tried to put a large one on but I insisted it was changed.

When I looked at mine in the showroom it had a small plate on it but by the time I went to pick the car up the dealer changed it for a large one with the dealer name on it. It looked hieous (to me) and I complained that it wasn't what I'd bought. They quickly made a small one and fitted it before I drove away.

I cannot see why you’d want to make an ugly bright yellow plate bigger than the minimum legal size, but each to their own.

Is it actually bigger though?
Or just a normal one rounded off at the bottom?
Sat contemplating this important issue before a walk and late pub lunch 😉
