    Hi All,

    About to order my custom plates (silver on black) and i'm trying to decide..

    Do i go full size or the slim plates?

    I've not seen a ve with the slim plates so not sure if it looks crap or good? :hmmm:

    i think slim looks good on the front but not so good on the back as it leaves a large space under the plate when mounted... just an opinion im sure others will disagree.... my favourite one i saw was white writing on black and was borderless and a little bigger than standard plates...

    Either is fine IMO, such a big front end the normal plate doesn't look too big.

    We have slim fronts and standard rear on both of ours. I reckon slimline on the front looks better.

    Not in SA- if you go for custom you can choose either standard front and rear, standard rear and slim front, or slim both ends..

    One's a VN and the other is a VT so pics are pretty pointless since yours is a VE.

    I have had slimline on all of my VE's and think they look better.
