    Number Plate Location - your opinion

    Has anyone centralised their number plate on their Discovery?
    I love everything on my MY20 HSE Luxury, but still not 100% on the rear number plate.. dealer fitted oversized plates, which doesn't really help, so will change that to standard size first,

    What do you think - would be great to hear from someone that has made the change?

    Nope, it's one of these quirky little features that grow on you over time I think! I quite like it, although that may be a minority opinion...

    When I got the car, I did ask if they’d put on normal sized plates and was told it was against LR policy and that’s where I left it.

    Doesn’t bother me tbh, it’s only a number plate.

    Plate offset

    Tried to balance the offset plate with decals.

    I think this would be my option...

    The video shows the guy slipping and scuffing the original paintwork. 10m 10 sec is proof of that. Why would you take a multi tool to cut the bodywork to make it look just like a Disco Sport. Rolling with laughter

    I was thinking of going this route after a parking lot attendant busted the real window with some bodywork damage but realized insurance wouldn’t pay for such a modification.
    It would look better than the offset, in my opinion.
    Oddity for the sake of being different isn’t beauty.

    Each to their own tbh, just not something that worries me, other than it being mistaken for a Disco Sport. Laughing

    I see one every day with the centralised plate mod, and I’m glad mine doesn’t look like that, like a Velar in a vice.

    The plate isn’t actually the issue with the rear styling, it’s the height combined with the rounded corners and horizontal lights that makes it look odd. Vertical light treatment would look far better.

    The moving of the lettering on the facelift model does more to resolve the rear end issues and is pretty effective. It’s a visual height reducer, albeit a small one.

    Ditto. Apart from insisting I had a 'standard' size rear plate when I picked the car up, which I personally think makes all the difference, I've never really understood the fuss about it being offset. Thumbs Up
