thinking about getting one and smoothing it, I'd have to get a private plate and shorten it, but i think it'd look cool...

It would be better if the recess wasn't as high though IMO, that width is good, mine looks lost because its about 60mm shorter than a standard plate.

wouldnt you just get a square bike plate, that would fit the recess fine?

Only thing is, he wouldn't get pulled for a square bike style plate, he would for an american one.

But you have to weigh it up, £30 fine and told to change it, or stick a bike plate on to start off with?
Or just put a smaller plate on.

I found that with my front bumper, people that don't know about the MK5 wouldn't know it's been smoothed, as far as they know, it's standard. Suppose it's just personal taste.

Nah you're alright mate, I'll keep it
Your car ain't too bad either mate, it's coming along nicely.
