There's a few places that sell them these days, Dubmeister are supposed to not exactly be quick at delivery, or they never used to be. If you want my advice, I wouldn't bother (unless you put them on at a show and take them off for example) as the cops are cracking down on non standard plates due to the ever increasing number plate recognition systems that are everywhere these days. If you do get some and put them on for every day use, please don't post a thread moaning that you've just been done for £30 due to having german plates on. :wink:
......now officially dubless.

An dont buy them from europl8/pl8man incase they get them wrong

try to charge you for the erronous ones which they tell you theyll probably just throw away

then you go to a show 2 months later and see both fornt and rear plates used as examples

to say my amte was screwing aobut it was an understatement  :grin:

from sti spring fest to bristol volksfest bought thens een respective lol  :rolleyes:

i got mine from dubmeister at Inters...and i got pulled on Monday night on the way to Leeds and got a fine, i pleaded ignorance but never mind. The coppers were very nice chaps so i wasnt really that bothered. I am still going go keep them on, not been stopped in Preston yet so will wait till i am.

So as gibby says, be careful

I was also told that even if you get pressed plates with UK font they are still illegal due to the reflectivity and other reasons which i forgot!

You see this on many cars up to the late 80's I swear, van's and stuff a fair bit like bedfords.. I tohught this was the way it was done, at least previously?

Yep, I've seen plenty of pressed metal plates (non reflective I might add) on older vans.
