Shorty plate on RS4

I've done a search on here and can't find if this has been discussed before...
I notice a number of people on her have private plates and I wondered if any of you have or considered a short plate on your RS4?

Looking at some of the cars from the middle east which have shorter plates I actually quite like the look, especially on the front grill.
Anyone have any pics or opinions please?

Thanks for the pics Guys, I really like the Shorty front and back.
I feel inferior though with a full 5 digits compared the Tony's 3 :D

Interesting on the RS4 and S3 side by side, on casual first glance you could be forgiven for thinking the latter is the more potent with its 4 pipes :s3addict:

They do indeed look great.
If anyone wants to approach these guys for a price on a set for 5 letter shorty's then I'd be interested.
I would want to have a fully complaint number plate though, don't want to give the police reason to stop me over such a small point.
