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.
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.
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.

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 f
king 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. Perhaps if you spent a bit more time reading instead of making f

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.Not my no plate but just made this up in 2 mins. Gulf Porsche colours, pretty cool.
So while it looks poo on my car, it is obviously down to the car.

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.....Not my no plate but just made this up in 2 mins.

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
No, bizarly this mob do seem to produce legal - if expensive and tasteless - plates.this seems to be the fashion round here
Yes officer, those four screws are really the best method to hold the plate on
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

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. Not my no plate but just made this up in 2 mins. Gulf Porsche colours, pretty cool.
