I need a set of plates making up for a car. The current ones are a normal, legal set and the text just says Mercedes-Benz Oxford and their postcode.
This is what I want again with the new reg. I imagine oem plates will be expensive for what they are but I can't seem to find a show plate maker who can match it without adding their logo. Anyone done it recently or is it dealer only for that layout?

To be legal the company making the plate has to put their own details at the bottom, not those of someone else (an MB dealer). If you want the dealer plates then you'll need to get them from the dealer. It won't cost a lot of money.

I needed a plate for a bike rack. My nearest place open on a Sunday was a small independent hardware shop.
I now have a number plate which says "Thornton DIY Store".

Just contact one of the many companies that make “show plates” and ask them to make you a set with “Mercedes Benz” on the bottom of them

If you want Mercedes-Benz Oxford and their postcode, just give the salesman you dealt with a call and see if he can rustle up as set for you.

I've used an online service a couple of times now and all their details are in the corner and the same colour as the plate so hardly noticeable.

There is a company, possibly on eBay, that replicates older style plates and dealer details - normally where the supplying dealer is now defunct.

As an update I've offered this
https://proplates.co.uk/products/replica-dealer-nu...

now clearly not the cheapest and I'll enquire at the dealer about prices at that level but if you wanted a defunct dealer logo etc and had a picture that would work well.
