DB9.2 rear number plate

[anonymous-user]

Hi all, I think stratstone has done my rear plate slightly off centre and it’s doing my nut now.

I found a thread about db9 plates but it was 6 years old so apologies if there is more recent.

My 2 questions are:

1) is the DB9 and DB9.2 rear plate size/fitment the same?
2) recommendations for an online site to get one made up please?

Thanks very much in advance.

I used http://www.demonplates.com previously for a 2006 DB9. They make model specific plates.

Four Dot (https://www.fourdotdesignerplates.co.uk/) are excellent & make DB9 plates to fit

Agree with the Fourdot recommendation. Expensive but the also come with a template to ensure the plate is centralised on the car

Totally recommend fourdot. They made me a plate for the rear of my DB9. I had it cut to the shape but unusually had the yellow numberplate as a normal oblong. It was a very short plate. 4 digits and looked so different. Totally brilliant and the quality is second to none

The look transformed the rear of the car. I guess it only works on a dark colour though

Thanks for the recommendations, I have ordered a set from fourdot. Wow they are expensive!

When they arrive you will see why - pure quality - let us know what you think

I had concerns about the rear number plate on my DB9.2 too. I had seen a couple of different size types and mounting locations and some looked a bit odd. I settled on a slightly smaller 6 digit plate size mounted quite high up.

Fourdot on mine, they're great.

Plates from four dot arrived today. 2 day delivery is great. Product was very nicely packaged with the cut out templates and instructions on how to fit. I spent a lot of time taking the vhb tape off the car at the rear where the previous plate had been. Using a hairdryer and some elbow grease and finally got to fit the rear. On the front I decided to try without the plinth. I don’t know if that’s vantage only territory but anyho these are the before and after:

The comedy Stratstone supplied rear plate, just what you’d expect when spending the thick end of £100k on a sports car:



Then after:



Front before:



And with new plate and plinth removed:



I did bend the front plate to try and shape it a little with some heat but waiting to see if it is still in place tomorrow. I might get the front cut down to fit the white background if that’s possible but it’s not urgent.

Very happy with the plates. They are expensive but worth it imo.

Is the text slanting down to the right on the rear one....?



Nice car.

Nice car.

Thanks.


Arrghhh, on the new plate I dont think so, its bang on, maybe the angle of the picture isnt the best (he says as he goes back to the garage to check again, damn ocd).

That looks good.

Did you end up cutting the front plate down to a smaller size? or is this not possible if removal of the plinth leaves unsightly holes in the front bumper

Hi, no it would have been a right mess so I ordered another front plate but the smallest one they do and fitted that. I used four screws with black plastic caps to hide the holes that were exposed. Not perfect but much better imo. Can’t seem to get a pic uploaded.

That looks really smart! nice one. Do you have a link to or info the screws and black caps that you used?
