Rear Reg Plate Illumination

[antonyb]

Hi all,

I am thinking seriously of buying the mark P666 BYE for my Chimaera. But there are a few things I would like to know, and I was hoping you could help me with.

Do I have to have a rear plate which allows the light through like the ones that come on the car? If I do where can I get them and how much do they cost?

Also, what do you think of the mark? Worth 250 GBP?

Thanks All,

Antony B

Edited to say: What about P400 BYE? Chimaera 400 - P reg... BYE. I think i like that more!

Yes, you need a backlit plate. Otherwise you are at grave risk at getting pulled, especially on a motorway at night. The car stands out a mile.

The only place I could find these plates was a TVR dealer, even the plate specialists in the back of MCN hadn't heard of backlit plates.

is this exclusive to the Chimaera?

No Griff's and Cerbies are the same
But newish ones have the (IMHO) not as nice angled rear plate

The special plates are 16.50 gbp (for the rear only) - and can be made in 24 hours by A.R.E.

I opted for P400 BYE in the end...

Try this for light up plates:

You can make up different designs, borders e.t.c

My dad made up some plates for his cerb on there about a month ago!

Reasonable price to.
