Hello all,

Just bought myself a TVR Chimaera 400, it needs a lot of love but it will be worth the effords.
I want a rear backlit numberplate, not a honeycomb version but the plain translucent version.
I found some older treads of some years ago but who can still make these?
hopefully someone can point me in the correct direction as this is a cool gimick, especally in the netherlands where I live.
Thank you and I'm sure Iwill be here for a while bowtie

These guys seem to still offer the correct plates. Have never used them personally though.

I have not ordered the specific format discussed but IME their service is very good - under a week to arrive, usually, and good quality.

That's exactly who I used.
It's the right plate for the backlit style on my Chim too.

Some tips:

Line the cavity with reflective tape (the stuff you get from a builders merchant)
Replace the bulbs with LED festoon bulbs
Use a fairly thin outline of double sided tape around the plate, but also fit with fixing screws, as the curve of the car will eventually cause the plate to delaminate if you only use tape - ask me how I know.

This shows the first two points:
