I contemplated moving the plate to directly under the centre bit, but still in the centre horizontally. Putting it offset and down the bottom looks pus IMO 9no offence kiddies)

I had this discussion with another member last night over PM.
I linked that other member with the relevant ADRs as well, like I always do.
The number plate MUST be parallel with the front axle. ie aligned straight, not on an angle.
Here is the info, copied the PM across.

Now with regards to the evo mount, a few issues fall under it. 1 is the view angle. ADR 61 states in Clause 9.1.1.2
That means the plate must be square on, not on an angle.
right, so make a mount with the plate square on to the vehicle? No can do. Because of the curve of the front side of the vehicle, we run into another problem. ADR 42, section 11 lists requirements relating to external protrusions. There are no specific dimensions, but it my guess is if you were to make a mount like the evo mount, but made it at such an angle, it would technically be illegal.

provision must be made for mounting a registration plate (as shown in Figure 1) to be affixed to the front of the motor vehicle forward of and parallel to the front ‘Axle’ so that no part of such registration plate is more than 1,300 mm from the ground.

When a custom mount is installed so they are flat facing forward, the protrusion out from the bumper bar is quite a bit due to the curve or the bumper.
There is no specific dimensions, BUT they do say it can't risk any injury etc to persons. So a mount protruding out past the bumper 100mm to 150mm (and it does, go look) would be classed as dangerous to persons.

Ah i get what your saying adrian. Cant believe such a small pertrusion can make such a great big deal(maybe on a CJ it aint the smallest pertrusion). I mean, could it really affect someone that bad? Gotta be real unlucky to be hit by a car and they guy got serious injury's sustained from a licence plate mount. Makes you think huh...
Ok kids. I used an old numberplate frame for size purposes and took some photos and measurements. NOTE the huge distance!! Oh and excuse the dirty car. Going to get a wash tomorrow.
1st pic shows where the plate is mounted from the front view.
2nd pic shows the measurement from the plate to the bumper. It says 220mm to the front of the plate from the bumper.
