Slimline (5 characters)
315mm wide x 100mm high


I don't pick up my car until Saturday 2/5 (hopefully), so I can't measure the area at the back myself which I know sticks out a bit to the left.

Can someone tell me if they have gone down this path before?
Whilst I realise a standard plate should fit fine, I just wanted to know if the slimline will fit or whether it would look stupid as it is not high enough or wide enough?

Opinions appreciated as I don't want to spoil the look of a new Deefer!

Cheers,

Not sure on the PUMA but my Td5 has full length slimline front and rear.
I reckon they look ok.
I think if you go for the 5 charachters you don't need the "sticky-outy" thing

Thats correct i got rid of mine after putting private slimline plates looks better without it any way i only have 4 letters on mine .

Thanks Sleepy - you are reading my mind. Pretty sure looking at your pics there would be no difference between your car and the Puma.
I was thinking of the 5 characters so I don't need the "sticky-outy" thing. But, are these things standard on the car of do the dealers add them? Does anyone know?

Hey thanks for the feedback Pommy. Did you take it off yourself? Did it leave marks on the car? I certainly don't want marks left on the car...unless I am doing it myself odd-road!

The "sticky outys" were part of the ADR for the Td5 and I presume the same for the Pooma.

I'll go and measure mine, I have seen 4 characters without a sitcky-outy but never seen 5 charachters so can't say.


(That's the 5th time I've refered to the sticky-outy today If it hasn't got a name, it has now. )

I have slim line ones on mine. Fits just the same as on a Td5 or Tdi or County with the tab on the body out to the side. In keeping with the rest of the vehicle I rivet my plates on as its easy to do and also means they can't be easily removed either.
