1995 Chimaera rear number plate

[pil2255]

Just wondered if anyone could let me have details of a supplier in essex (southend / basildon) area for the translucent rear numberplate for a 1995 Chim.

Due to recent problem I have ruined the existing one and need a replacement ASAP

Thanks
Mike

I tried several places when i had mine changed ( Suffolk). problem was no one had one in stock. Had to buy from the local TVR main dealer. Kerridges of Needham Market in Suffolk.
It only took a day though, so you may have to do the same.

I'll second the recommendation for Fancyplates - got mine there and no probs.

Suggest that you phone them - very helpful - as there are a number of potential problems ordering off the website.

Two further suggestions: Line the inside of the housing with kitchen foil - this acts as a reflector and second, try getting LED's to replace the original lamps - got mine on fleabay from here:

I used craigsplates uk. Although the plate was TVR specific, with the translucent backing, I have found that re fitting with 10W bulbs, the back lighting is still dim. Will try the silver foil option, but I dont think the cops are as keen overhere as in UK

Thanks guys

All very good info, i will also go for the foil and LED upgrade too.

2nd for craigsplates uk, you might want to consider some 'show plates'.
