Right.. i want my E60 to look a little different from the rest. i want to do suttle mods ect!
Here in the UK the rozzers are pritty firm with there number plate rules and i have to have one on the front and the font has to be of the right size.. Im thinkin of relocating my plate from where shown in the picture to the lower grill and a smaller plate but same size font.. if that makes sence

Just leave it mate.
Get rid of all the other text and plate surround though and it'll look much cleaner.

Might look a bit like this (I kept the font size the same) and darkened it a bit because it wouldn't catch so much light down there.
Ok, let's pretend for a moment that you DO relocate it (I happen to think it looks better underneath, personally). How would you handle the holes from the original mounting location?

Sorry think the idea is wrong.
Cooling problems by covering the vent
It could look a little 'tacked on'
There are about 10 holes behind the original plate position
Coppers will still pull you if the plate size is small (athough bikers seem to get away with it!!)
Leave it as it is.

Quite easy with photoshop
Indeed. But photochop doesn't work out so well in real-life. If it did, I'd photochop myself 25 pounds lighter, with a 19 year old DD blonde, and driving a CCX.
