Who can make a set of plates pretty quickly and how much?

 

Local motor factors and about Ł10 each.

 

Most of them have the name of the place on them which is what I don't want.

 

They have to do it by law mate. If you want illegal plates you may get wrong off the police like I did for having " RS SCOOBY SLAYER " written under mine.

 

Halfords logo's and wording are discreet Nath - small and reflective but you can't see them unless you look.

Be the quickest way mate.

 

And don't forget your log book and photo id.

 

Anyone got a picture of the size of their logo.

Photo ID for number plates?

 

Yip you've got to prove your the person on log book or else no plates for you lol

 

No, but it's absolutely fookin tiny mate, I used to work there.

And yep, best thing to take is driving license

 

Ebay mate, you can design your own plate,no proof of ID needed next day delivery for under twenty quid.

 

i thought that the manufacture of the plates had to put there name and postcode on the plates

 

i see halfords want Ł15 for one plate, bloody rip off

 

Correct

 

Chris Foster did plates for me a couple of weeks back.

Took a couple of Pm's and a prod to post though

They are perfect and have no stupid shit on the bottom. Plain as you like

 

they will fail the MOT

 

mine are plain and never failed an mot yet,

 

these have been on my car for a few years now ive just checked through some old pictures



the writing is quite big and plain to see and its had at least 4 mots since they were put on

 

Next time an arsey copper sees them he will tell you to get legal ones or face a fine.

 

i think it might depend if the copper or mot tester is an arse

 

i really dont see it as a problem, they have been on the car for many years and had no issue yet so they will be staying on

 

I don't see it as a problem mate, but they aren't legal. If a copper wants to be funny and fine you for them he/she can.
Been warned before on a number of occasions for my old plates so just got rid of them.

 

ive been done for plain number plates, they ARE illegal unless they have the post code/address of the place they were made and British standard number on them (BS145d) or something like that.

 

There are exceptions for older/historic vehicles, typically those built before 1973.
Otherwise they must be exactly as prescribed and show the suppliers name and postcode.

 

These are Halford's plates, you cant see the postcode at the bottom unless you get right close up. I didnt pay 30quid for the pair though, sure it was cheaper than that for both.

i am ordering some from here

 

Another exception is that the rules came into effect in September 2001. Plates fitted before that do NOT need to show maker/postcode.

Also, I don't think it's an MOT fail.

I have 2 pre-2001 cars, one has the original plates which DEFINITELY have no postcode.
The other has newer Halfords plates (with GB symbol for foreign travel), you have to look VERY HARD from specific angles to see the supplier details, they're effectively invisible to a casual glance.

 

Nath Try Chris at Vortech he made mine very quick and a good turn around too

 

There are ALOT of rules for licence plates BUT being an MOT fail is a load of bollocks. In general they wont check. Ive had an arguement with VOSA when the police tryed fining me for the 3rd time this is after Ive changed it to the spec they asked andI said to them that if it was illegal then it should have been pulled up during the MOT which it wasnt. I personally think that you cant rely on all testers as SOME are lazy, or they are not informed in whats legal and whats not. Ive heard the same storie over and over. You have plates on your car which go through the MOT then you get told by the police that they're illagal.
Its the same with my reverse lights. They dont work and aint gonna work long story and I was told by a copper that it was a legal requirement...wrong! Its a legal requirment for makers to fit them but they dont even check them in the test!

 

Slik is exactly right, they won't fail an MOT unless the car is newer than 2006 ( I think ).

Can't help you this time Nath mate as i'm working in Vietnam for the next couple of weeks!!

Chris

 

Was about to say I have RS ghosted into the plates on my S2 and 3D lettering. They were legal when I fitted them and I have no intention of changing them.

 

he bloke down the sunday market will do them plain or whatever you want

that's where i got mine done

 

pre 1st sep 2001 one cars dont need a post code.bs number etc and you can have honeycomb backing!1st sep 2001 need all the above

 

yeah mine was from halfrauds but you cant see the name unless you get down on your hands and knees and look

 

also forgot to add pre 2001 cars can have the shadow 3d effect lettering

 

www.craigsplates.com done mine, speedy delivery too

 

The postcode side of it doesn't come into the mot all the tester has to check is the sizing and font if they are correct it is a pass.
No plates are a grey area there has been lots of changes to the legislation so it does get confusing.
Anyone supplying road plates needs to be registered and correctly stamp plates.
Hence why you get 'show plates' they are not legal for road use.
All new plates bought now must have all markings.

Not that my cossie has any of these other than the rear plate being correct size!
