Can anyone recommend a company (that they have used) to make up a couple of sets of custom size show plates (including silver on black). I'm really struggling to find anyone - most just don't reply to emails, and many don't have phone numbers. Even a PH'er with his own plate making company wasn't interested enough to reply properly.

I've used http://www.fancyplates.com a few times in the past and been happy enough.

I tried to get hold of FancyPlates as I wanted a second rear plate and they're the only website that does the manufacturers logo (specific design) that I wanted. As you say, no reply. NFI. Business must be good.

As for others, Google turns up loads. They've changed their approach a little an some will now only provide plates in component form, but there's a lot of options.

I havent used any recently enough to recommend though, sorry.

I used this one. Really really good.

I wanted a custom size for the front to fit perfectly into the recess on my front bumper (std size overhangs at the bottom) and they had to be plain (no border, UK, names at the bottom etc).

Really good quality, supplied with fitting kit, packaged well and only £22 for front and rear.

I wouldn't touch the Irish company again - their idea of business is to take money and two weeks later not deliver, and not answer emails. A phone call reassured me. Further non responses over the next day or so meant that I cancelled the order. Got my money back about 2 weeks later. Will try PP - any others?
