UK sticker for rear number plate
Despite me taking the disco to France 2 years ago, the new rule about UK sticker rather than GB, passed me by.
Heading across the channel again this year, but now I know about the rule.
I have plates with the blue EU symbol and GB to the left side. Getting an over sticker, to cover the front plate is easy, but I'm yet to find one to cover the rear, because the old EU bit goes the full height of the square plate. I've seen some for square motorbike plates, but the sticker isn't long enough.
Has anyone found some suitable and could include a link please? ThanksMY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff

To travel in the EU, you either need a number plate with a UK flag on it or a UK sticker that’s clearly displayed on the rear of your car.
If it were me, I'd leave the plates alone and use a magnetic UK badge or a sticker on the rear glass. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

That's exactly what I did at New Year with no problem. You can always replace the plate at a later date if needs be.Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

These are workable and provided you pop them on straight look fine.

Thanks, I will have another read of the rules, because is read somewhere that you can't display the euro symbol, hence why I am trying to find something to cover it up. If not, then maybe the easy option.MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff

Check GOV.UK displaying number plates, identifiers and stickers
It says if you have any flag other than UK on your plates then a UK sticker on body not plate is required.01 Discovery2 V8 LPG - Resting

“If you’re in Spain, Cyprus or Malta, you must display a UK sticker no matter what is on your number plate.”
So just get a UK sticker. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
