Just about to swap numberplates over and I need to get some plates made up, I would like to retain the Blue euro-strip option on the left hand side (I know its techically not allowed now as they have changed to UK & Union Flag).

However, not just a blue strip, but the one which was made by Bestplates, had White GB text, yellow stars and NO BORDER, eg this:



And not like this (note the white border around the blue strip):




I know its a first world problem, but I prefer the old look without the border, anyone any ideas who still can make these? I have checked with my local Mercedes Dealer but they no longer supply them.

You can buy mis-spaced, 3d/4d etc, metal pressed etc all kinds of illegal plates for show purposes.

However, try and get a eu flag and GB on a plate….no chance!!

Just searched "GB number plate" into ebay and there are at least a few options, suggest you try that.

I doubt number plate printers will have thrown away their stock of GB/blue flash plates so some people will be selling them for some time I am sure.

I've bought plates from ebay a bunch of times, suggest you scrutinise the photos to see if it's exactly what you want, you seem as detailed oriented as I am. If something doesn't match (i.e. they have incorrect photos) it should be easy enough to complain, not to mention the plates are usually <£20 for a pair anyway.

Indeed, I'd message the big sellers and see if they have what you want
