Where can I buy decent new number plates?

sloth · 15 Aug 2007 at 08:54

The number plates on my car are starting to bubble and look a bit tatty. I'm not too keen on having the dealer name stamped on them either.

Does anyone have any recommendations where can do decent quality number plates (online or a shop) that won't bubble after just 6 months?

I don't want metal pressed plates, fancy fonts or anything like that. Just good quality plates that look good and will last.

Cheers.

Look well priced - £41.60 for 2 sets of plates delivered.

But... GB or SCO? Or something else?

but perhaps im biased

I believe I got mine from Demon Plates. I got raised carbon effect ones for extra BHP, and you can have custom text at the bottom, should you have something witty to say.

whens the law coming in,which says you don't need gb sticker if it's on the plate?

If it's soonish get the GB ones.

Halfords

Never had a problem with my plates from them, you will need to take your license and logbook with you though

Like the guy I saw in a Saab 9000 Turbo the other day where it read "My other toy has ****"

I really wanted to add "...and a puncture

"

I thought that has always been the case?

If not I've been driving illegally when abroad.

One of my friends had " 'rari's for breakfast, lambo's for lunch and scooby's for dinner" on his evo.

Wellesbourne market, £10 per plate and you can even have a little slogan underneath. Digitally printed so no stupid misaligned characters.

What's raised carbon effect?

EDIT: Ah, they call it "3D carbon doming"
