Afternoon all

I am on the hunt for a set of number plates for my recent import. I am looking for metal pressed plates which are UK road legal, so will have the correct spacing etc and have the BS AU standard printed on them.

I have been googling but can't find that specific combination. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

I had already been on pressednumberplates.co.uk and their JDM size plate is plastic, funnily enough it isn't metal as their name would suggest. I will have a look at chestnut registrations, thanks.

I thought that too InitialDave until recently, yes I meant JDM size plates, so roughly 33 x 16.5cm overall dimension.

Number plates in the UK need to follow BS AU 145e. My understanding is that this standard dictates various things such as spacing, letter font etc but does not limit the overall plate size to any specific dimensions. All plates need this standard printed on them and you can buy acrylic plates with the standard on them easily. Based on what I have read, I see no grounds for asking that one be removed and a "standard" UK plate fitted.

Thought it was worth the question, seems likely the specific plate I require isn't available or common. Plastic it is then.

Thanks all

Thanks all for comments, jdmplates seem to do the JDM size which is road legal.

Failing that, think I will go with the rice krispies box and a felt tip.

Have a good weekend.
