I've been thinking replacing the current Suzuki badge with the current one, but not 100% on the idea as of yet due to the new badge's being rather big compared to the older style. (New ones are around 8 - 10cm pending which model it's from).
The badge is a side though admittedly, as may just give the current one a good clean up insted. Just interested to see what your though on it would be.
As well as this, planning to get some smaller number plates for the front and rear as current ones are a bit rough, as well as look out of place on the car due to the size! So was wondering what size's people have for there's?
Thanks in advance for any answers guys.

| Stick with original badge much better or buy another original on ebay (not cheap though) .....not alot you can do wth your plates unless you get a private plate with less numbers to reduce the width or you run the risk of getting pulled over and mot failures for incorrect size of nubers etc... Someone else may have other ideas.... |

I think I used motorbike size or slightly larger for my plates, these bring the plate into scale with the car and haven't to date had any issue with the fuzz, I also have square plates and double digits so it works well, you have triple digits though and that always looks bulky on a cappo.
The only real trouble I noticed with going smaller was the increase in cars pulling out at junctions, it doesn't happen a lot and if you drive at sensible speeds not a biggy but I think people use the plate as a reference and by scaling them down on a small car you can give the impression your a touch further away. |

| My plates were custom made to fit the Suzuki Sport plate holder. The digits are slightly smaller than motorbike size but I've never had a problem with them. |

Thinking bike sized roughly, as not too small but would look better I think.
Should't get any problems with them as long as there not tiny, as they look in proportion to the rest of the car and the police are not bad up where I am.
Think i'm leaning away from the badge though, all too big and it being a solid object rather than the original's outline, would look out of place. So I'll take the current one off and give it a good clean and see how it go's. |

| there are several companies on ebay selling import size plates for about £15 delivered and they are all road legal and suitable for mot etc. they suit the cappo better and have various styles i think they are about 12x7 {look like the same size as on andys one } |
