They fit better than the "normal" plates.

If you've got time, log onto eurofordclub.com and go to the Gallery Section you'll find various events held over the years and heaps of photos that might help your decision.

I considered getting euro plates due to fact i'm assuming they would fit the space better however the stupid dealer drilled holes in the bumper and hatch lid to attach the normal plates...so if i were to go the euro plates i would have the 2 gaping wide holes in the panels just above the plate...(really annoying)

Euro plates should fit in the holes the dealer drilled. Otherwise you need to drill the number plates themselves.
