New Number Plate

Kingy · 10 May 2010 at 11:43

Hi all,

Having vapourised a rabbit late last year, I've finally booked the zed in for an aero front bumper this weekend, and I'm thinking of tidying up the front end while I'm at it.

Are there any reccomendations for who to use to get a new number plate made up?

I don't want any fancy fonts or anything like that, but the ink has run on my front plate and one of the screws is rusty, so I could do with a replacement...

Cheers

Fox always says BMW did his plates nice and clean for £10 each I think, Halfords did mine recently and I asked for no markings and clean and they look fine for about £13 a plate.

Excellent... Was there a lead time involved, and did you need any documents etc?

Your local main dealer. Less than a tenner.

My local dealer is a bit hit and miss. Jodie can't do enough to help, while Darren is a waste of space. Things can seem far too much like hard work with them, which isn't really the point of using a main dealer...

If it's a legitimate supplier then you should be asked to supply your V5 and then proof of identification.

It doesnt really matter how useless the member of staff serving you is, numberplates are numberplates

I wondered if there were any decent sites that would post them out to you, thus saving me a trip to the dealers, and being irritated by a sullen excuse for customer service.

Ordered my last set off the internet, no paperwork needed and delivered in about 2 days. Plenty of places around.

A quick google returned a number of people trying to sell me a private plate, and Demon plates, whose site didn't work properly in the office.

I remembered using a site previously that would let you design a plate, from anything as simple as a border around the plate, to flags and logos if that tickled your fancy...

As above, I get mine from Fancyplates. Excellent quality and excellent service. Ordered a new front plate just now in fact, as my current one has been violated by a rather large stone it would seem!

I think fancyplates was the one I used before... Cheers...
