Hi Rob,

I've used this company.......

But I bought their "cleaner" non MOT compliant ones.

Obviously for when the car is just parked on the drive...... :wink:

Platesforcars for me. Their legal plates have an almost invisible BS number and Postcode in the bottom right corner.

I’ve bought 4 or 5 sets of plates from plates for cars.
V satisfied with service and quality.
Good design website.

Thanks for the info guys,  will have a look at these suggestions in the morning, I've used A1 showplates a few years ago, but always good to have some other options  :smiley:

Only ever use fullhousecustoms for my plates. Really nice gel plates with full legal certificate.

I may be a little late to the party here but I have always shopped with https://www.number1plates.com (https://www.number1plates.com) and they've been good for me.

I have short 4d plates at the minute...  :laugh: they do require docs though which can be annoying for some https://www.number1plates.com/blog/are-my-number-plates-legal/ (https://www.number1plates.com/blog/are-my-number-plates-legal/)

4D plates. Beware! Bad taste condemnation warning from the number plate fashionistas inbound.  :grin:

platesforcars are very good. No docs needed as they are based in Ireland.

Yeah, I can vouch for them too. I used them for a shortened plate on a BMW, they even replicated the BMW dealer text & font at the bottom (I'm a stickler for originality).
