where the hell have all the providers gone? (for small plates) On ebay there's only a handful, which are mostly weird 'stick on' number plates. There is one but it's st and expensive and crap. There used to be tonnes of them. Who's cracking down on them?

I used myshowplates but it was nearly 20 quid for one fking plate! Surely with such a simple item competition should be falling over themselves to offer a cheap product?

I don't get it.

I've used them and a local shop to me makes them for about £15 but I think that's the going price now

The usual eBay sellers will make you a show plate for your garage wall if you ask and no need to provide V5 details etc.

I got mine from here https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/morethanplates_uk?_trks...

DVLA have been pressuring eBay to kick off the show plate providers according to a flyer I got with my last order and yes, £20+ seems to be the going rate now.

I ordered one last week, I, like a few of us, noticed some sellers wished to see V5 etc but a changing the search to "show plate" or "fun plate" 8 x 6 still pulled up many options, I used " plate_seller" £10.95 inc post.
