Thanks John I had seen this thread and it does show the number plate in different positions on different cars but does not show you what type of bracket or fixing is used to secure the plate. The legal requirements I understand about size and spacing. Don't feel I want to put it on the pod cover because of the graphics.
I have fixed 2 captive nuts in the rear of the quad pod cover and I used to have a full size plate on there, but it really screws the graphics.
I made up 2 brackets (same width as full size plate) in the radiator inlet and used to have a full size plate there - never had any overheating though!
I got a smaller plate made up and fitted an alloy bar between the brackets and fitted my smaller plate to that - vanity
I normally take the small plate off and put the full size plate on at MOT time, but forgot yesterday. Got a PASS no problem.
It was only reading your post reminded me about legality

I've put two M6 anchor nuts on the underside horizontal surface, just in front of the grille Kenny.
That's as far as I've got.
Just a bit of bent ally nailed through the grille with my undersized plate that looks okayish as it's only 5 letters/digits wide.
Two white tie-wraps through teh plate and mesh - has worked fine for years.
Need to check some pictures but I have a funny feeling the Beta/Fulvia number plate lights are back to front?

Never looked specifically at what LB have in terms of fittings but if it's a 5 digit plate you can order them online with all the minimum correct legal spacing and supplier info to make for a simple MOT pass and the benefit of not blocking much of the radiator.
