Where to get custom numberplates quickly? Road legal

tem07 · 23 Mar 2009 at 22:13

Hi!

I'm just trying to find anywhere I can get some numberplates which are road legal quickly as I'm off to France and the numberplate has some condensation in it and is snapped in half! Ha!

I've seen some sites but they all require documentation but I am just trying to find some sites that don't really require that, but if there isn't then I will have to then..

Cheers! :cool:

I used platecreator.com

Thanks, but at the bottom it says that:
''These plates are all show plates and not Road legal.''

www.fancyplates.com

All plates and reflective materials we supply meet the requirements of BSAU 145d, however for our Standard UK plate customers, Fancy Plates guarantees peace of mind in that all plates ordered through this constructor are suitable for use on UK public roads and will pass any MOT/PSV tests.

You'll need to fax your V5 to them though.

i got a set off ebay, will try and dig out the seller ... http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Flashplates-Limited__W0QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fsubZ3 arrived next day and seem to be good.

I went for perfectly clean ones which may not be 100% legal as i think its supposed to have the maker name on the bottom... but should be fine

try demonplates.com

they ve just supplied me mine, all i had to do was fill in an online address check for which comfirms to them the vehicle is registered to that address..
all their plates are bsau 145d marked road legal and will pass mot tests..
delivery is usually within 48 hrs or sooner depending when you make the order..
hope this helps..

I used them. Completely road spec. Never had an issue.

You could always pop into Halfrauds?

Thanks guys,
probably will go for fancyplates.com

SB118 and Burnsy2023 - do they come with the legal stuff like the postcode bs aus154d or whatever etc.??

Cheers

I don't think they did on mine, but I got mine about 2 years ago

SB118 · 24 Mar 2009 at 17:23

I had my own slogans on mine, passed mots with them though.

Anyone know of a place that does fully laminated plates?

With mine being right above my exhaust I have problems with the heat causing the printed back to peel off so I need something a little more heavy duty really, or at least contructed in a different way.

halfords

Mate of mine just failed his MOT due to missing BS code on his plates.
Another friend failed due to no BS number or postcode information.

Looks like the centres are tightening up as reported.

The legislation doesn't even require that.

It does require a BS reference number on plates made after 2001.
