No problem! I can't personally recommend them, but they are used a lot on the Clio forums, as they can do custom sized plates to fit the front bumper recess on Clios.

You could always pop into Halfords (or any other well known motor factors) and pay 99p for sticky GB badge to put in your rear window.

Why do you have to order them online? Just pop into your local supplier with your V5 and they'll make them 'while u wait'.

I've used fancyplates.com before. Spot on service, and recorded next day delivery is free. And you can choose the design of the plate to incorporate the euro flag too.

Was looking for a mate and he is not in a hurry. So helped him order it online just now, should be with him whenever. no need to dig out the logbook or go anywhere smile

and cheaper than halfrauds too.

Halfords sell the Blue euro GB badge to stick on your number plates(Used them when I went abroad as well as a big GB sticker) there about 99p for 2.

I bought some 'Halfords' plates about 4 months ago and they've already gone 'creamy' in the black bits. not sure what sort of comeback I've got.
I've used fancy plates and they're great though

I've used them for years. They are based outside of the UK (Eire, I think) so don't have to comply with the V5-supply stuff.
Excellent service, and the plats are perfect.

NB. They *will* give you the choice of some non-spec plates (bad spacing, smaller than required etc) but the default is full size plates with the correct spacing, which is the option I used each time.
