A nice picture with spacing on this page. Could be a good starting point?

I'm so bright that I worked out that I could put the grille over the rear number plate and see!

That's what I did with mine also.

I put the new grill over the old one and marked the new holes with a dab of correction fluid.

Who will check the spacing? You cant go wrong with the overall width of the grill!!!! :shock:

Judging by the amount of 'custom' plates around with digits squished together to make daft statements/names I think no-one will check!

Now that's good advice for an Elan owner - always keep a spare everything!

Has anyone found a source for the individual front letters/numbers? I see some on e-bay uk now and again with a limited selection and usually black.
