Help needed to source number plates.

[MyM8V8]

I'm trying to find a company that can make me some legal import plates for the Ute. They have to fit limited space and I can use the smaller size letters as its an import. Trying to find someone to do them online is proving difficult as no one will reply to my queries.

Any recommendations appreciated.

What size do you need?

355 x 122 (or whatever that is in English) to fit into the holder. Need to be 60mm high letters or whatever the smaller legal size is.

Thanks. They have sorted the rear plate (legal for imports) but can't do the front as their plate suppliers haven't got anything that will cut down.

I got a late from CraigsPlates (15"x3.5") but the text was way too "thin".


MyShowPlates could only do a 16"x4.5", but biased the text to one side so the text was correctly centered after I trimmed an inch off the width.

It meets all the "import" plate font/spacing requirements.

Thanks for that My showplates are doing the (import legal) front one.

Very good. A tile saw cuts it quite nicely.

Yeah. Got one of those. Cheers.

Actually, myshowplates were very, very good with feedback and comms. Thoroughly recommend them to get the more difficult custom stuff done.

Rear plate arrived from Alton Plates this morning.

Brilliant service and they translated my requirements perfectly. Thank you, and you are highly recommended.





Thanks to everyone for their suggestions guidance.

Front plate arrived from them today, as above, but they had got the 355mm width spot on, just had to trim the depth an inch. Perfect and to myshowplates.

Thanks to all for your input on this one. The "Stroker" is now road ready for some serious data logging.
