Pressed plates *(now with group buy link)*

I am.... hmm let me see if I've got any photos.

Sorry, haven't got any where you can tell they're actually pressed. I did get them off eBay though, £26 for the pair, the "pressed letters" aren't that "pressed" - but they still are - it's very subtle and I like it. A few people have noticed and mentioned them and said they look nice though, so they're noticeable to the trained eye.  :grin:

Personally, I think they only look any good if you have a nice short personal reg number.

These look like a normal plate, same font etc but slightly and I mean only very slightly pressed. Personally I think all number plates look sh!te and I wish we could get away without them  :grin: but unfortunately we can't!  :sad:

I was lucky enough to get in early when the single digit prefix ones were plentiful. I've even got plates on retention for the kids when they are old enough. I bought them for them when they were born. There is still a while to go as our eldest is only 8, but I figured by the time he's 17, I would not be able to buy anything like the plates I did.
