Guest oneday Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Have a look in MCN (Motorcycle news ) at the back of the paper there are loads of people making plates to what ever size and format that you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyP Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 It says :- Step1 - Input your registration and design your plates. Step2 - Select the size of plates you require, (standard or other) Step3 - Enter your delivery details, payment details and checkout And they are based in N. Ireland ... Check the examples :- http://www.fancyplates.com/examples.html Pretty much all are illegal here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TT Tim Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 What is wrong with you Dave, didn't you read my post?

Guest NigelBoyd Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Depends if you want a legal plate or not and I have to say there is planty of evidence that the police are clamping down on non-legal plates and dishing out some hefty fines. As for the size, if you go into Halfords with the proof of ownership, they will order a plate made to measure for your vehicle for just £9.99. It will be made by the sole government agency that is now able to make legal plates so there will be no question of it's legality. I had to ask Halfords twice (the second time after I'd consulted with the DVLA and been in direct touch with the guys who make the plates for them. They will make vitually any size- so long as they can fit the letters on in one of two standard sizes. I had smaller letters for the rear plate which is a jap spec square plate (a bit like a bike plate). Don't forget - fitting a 'show plate' to a road going vehicle is a criminal offence and can result in a custodial sentence. It just isn't worth it!

jock Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I am sure there was something in the regs about imports not coming under them as the number plate block is not neccesarily a standard size?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
