Didn't see anyone say these aren't road legal and are classed as show plates. At £185 a set they will only be on show in their shop.

And the site is horrible as well so st in st out..

You're new here aren't you.
101 months and over 5,000 posts, no, I'm quite well known here!

Don't really hang out in GG much though, it's a bit strange.
That's not quite what I meant.
It's more of an ironical sort of thing due to your length of tenure yet your surprise at what this place is like.....it doesn't matter. smile
I know! smile

Ps. These are road legal, it says so on their website. I seem to remember them saying something about a certain sized reflective area around the letters is required and they always stick to this as a minimum to keep them road legal.

Lots of things that can be fitted to cars are road legal but that doesn't make them tasteful.

I don't know who Mr. Southern is, but if you could actually be bothered to spend just a couple of minutes looking at my profile, links to my place of work, and links to my flickr account (as found on many of my threads) you would find my surname quite easily. You would have also noticed that I am quite some distance from Weymouth and London. Certainly not commuting distance.

Perhaps if you spent a bit more time reading instead of making fking stupid assumptions and recklessly insinuating things, you would have noticed that.

I quite clearly stated in the original post that I was not affiliated with this company. Are you calling me a liar?

If I must explain how I found this company, they posted in the south coast forum that they were looking for interesting cars to photograph at their studio for a new business venture. I knew nothing about what they were offering, but quite fancied some nice photos of my TVR. So I took it along, I had a tour of the premises and they explained what they did.

I thought it was a nice idea so I thought I'd share it with you. No ulterior motive.
"You calling me a liar?" - very defensive for a web site you have no link to.

Ok, I saw this thread and saw what people were saying, checked out the website and thought it wasn't a bad idea, yeh you can go to fancy plates, but you get what you pay for cheap looking and sometimes illegal plates which will guarantee you a pull by the police. Here everything is legal, it's a great gift idea and you can change an ugly plate which ruins a lot of cars into a feature. If you can afford it why not. Don't hate it because you can't.
Not my no plate but just made this up in 2 mins. Gulf Porsche colours, pretty cool.

I've been having a faff with it. That Porsche above, with the Martini stripes looks great, however on, say, my SLK it looks crap - the plate you end up with looks like one of those godawful things you get on a Rover 75.

So while it looks poo on my car, it is obviously down to the car.

Perfectly pointless.

The most ridiculous thing you can "customise" your car with.

Next we'll have insurance certificates available in different colours and backgrounds.
No way:

OK, here's the rub, I most certainly could afford the plates (as I am sure most on here could), but I still prefer fancy plates and standard fonts, with my company website at the bottom and the GB letters on the side. I have never heard/seen of any standard plates ruining a cars' looks (Not talking about illegal plates, spacing/italics etc.). And, to me at least, it seems to be £180 wasted on something that many would think is cheap and nasty. I guess that if you owned that Range Rover Mk3 before Wheeler Dealers changed it, you may think the plates are sick.....

i thought the site was going to be about mispaced numberplates where the culprits have used four oddly spaced screws

this seems to be the fashion round here

Yes officer, those four screws are really the best method to hold the plate on

Yep I see what you mean, I just looked for something simple that would have some relevance to my car. Gulf stripes on a merc not really. But I'm sure there's something there, if not drop them a mail with what you might think be a good idea.

No, bizarly this mob do seem to produce legal - if expensive and tasteless - plates.

If you would like to see examples of the sort of utter chavery that you describe Mr Tyre, may I cordially invite you to join us here thumbup:- http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

When I looked at the website you could do everything that is legal you just said about fancy plates. I used fancy plates for that personal touch too, but if you can have something even more special why not? I don't think the combination I chose looks cheap and nasty! I think it looks 'sick......' As you put it.

I love the Boxster Sypder, such a cool looking car. I think the plate looks great on it. It would be interesting to see it on the car for real. Did they give you an ETA for delivery? The TVR Chimaera isn't on the website yet.
