Welcome Anthony.

Do a search in this forum, you'll find the question has been raised a few times before: on there you'll find the names of a couple of internet mail order companies that can do them.

Alternatively, contact one of the dealers, they should all be able to supply one. Make sure they manufacture it to BS Au 145d.

GT Grafix also do them mail order.

another vote for fancyplates - just remember when selecting the plat to go for the TVR version. very quick delivery and you can customise the plate with text logos etc.

Hawthorns just did me a new set for £34, with new sized letters so front and rear where needed, but they look smart with smaller letters.My car was Hawthorns supplied originally so I wanted the number plate logo to match the Hawthorns rear sticker and tax disc.

Hi, welcome, etc. Probably teaching you to suck eggs, but are the two bulbs that backlight the plate working OK? If they are, they should throw quite a bit of light into the boot if you've got the headlights on. I only mention this because the bulb holders and wiring for these lamps are pretty fragile and exposed, so it isn't hard to knock them getting stuff in and out of the boot. Even with the right type of plate fitted, and both bulbs working, it isn't exactly well lit.

www.fancyplates.com, just ordered a set this week and recieved them next day. The website gave me hours of fun choosing boarders logo's etc. Very impressed with the quality and detail in the graphics.
