Rear Number Plate Size

[Tyre Tread]

 

I've been sat in the office looking at the standard rear plate on my IS250 and thinking how horrible it looks having a standard oblong plate in a shaped recess and that a shaped plate would look nice (especially as my rear plate is looking a bit shabby).

A bit of research reveals an XF Jag plate would appear to fit quite well.

Anyone tried it?

So Alan did you go for it or still contemplating 🤔

Not done anything about it as I've sorned the IS250 for now.

However, one of my neighbours has an occasional visitor who has an XF and I'm hoping I might catch him and ask if I can measure it.

Failing that when things improve I'll visit a Jag dealer and ask if I can measure one

I fitted a larger than standard rear plate on my RX.  Why not just measure the usable space you've got on the IS and order a set of plates off eBay to the size you want, that's what I did and got a burgundy frame to it to match the car.

Because the rear plate recess on the IS is not a simple oblong but similar to a Rover 75 or XF Jag which narrow and are rounded toward the bottom and I would like a plate that fits the profile of the recess rather then just a larger plate.

I think many suppliers on-line will offer a bespoke size / shape plate and you don't always have to order two either !

Jaguar XF rear yellow plates are offered in several sizes - 520mm x 111mm (Standard Oblong Plate) or 527mm x 150mm high to fit the shape on the boot lid

Thanks Mike but its the overall profile (esp, width of narrowest bit at bottom ) I need to check
