I've been quoted about £27 for the small front plate!

Got my paperwork through from DVLA today so just got to send it off with the V5 and MOT and get the plates made up.

Anywhere else do the front plate size for less than the price quoted by Craigsplates above?

The other problem is going to be sorting the screw holes front and rear if I have the smaller plates!

Use sticky pads?

No, I mean the screw holes in the bumper where some turnip has screwed the current front plate on, and the boot lid too come to think of it!

I had same problem at front - some numpty had put two great screws at each end of full length plate and put the holes outside of the recess - doh! I got my local body shop to fill them in and re-paint for me - and a top job they did too.

MyShowPlate (as quoted above) were £11.50 + delivery I think for the 16"x4.5".

Like I said - tell them you are lopping an inch off one side and they will bias the text (inc BS no etc) so it it centred once you've done so.

I did a rough cut with a tile saw and then smoothed it with sandpaper - was a doddle.



I can't believe your previous plate was screwed on outside of the plate recess....

That would be enough to put me off tbh.

OK, will give that a go I think, thanks.
