So a month or so ago a kind sole crashed into my car, cracked my front number plate And never even left a sorry note. So yeah, in need of a new front JDM plate.

Mine currently has the company website of the company that imported my car, so if possible I'd like to be able to incorporate that back into the new plate.

All help welcome :)

Google 'show plates' ;) there are quite a few companies out there. You can mock up plates to your specification ;)

Most show plates don't come with the legal coding you get on normal plates, I forget what it's called. The digits in the bottom right of the plate. I know JDM plates are massive, so I'll be fitting the 12x6 option I think it is. Just cant seem to find anywhere that's simple to order from and will come with what I need.

AHA finally found one. They had it as a side option to include or not include the PS numbers.

I think you mean BS ;)

Should be BS AU 145d. Have you tried contacting the import company direct, see if they can have one made for you?

Yeah I did that but they no longer have plates made. Thanked me for still wanting their company name on my car though :)

Yeah, BS haha. Ordered a plate from my showplates or something they were called. £17.

Just needed a new one as it looked so scruffy all cracked.

What I mean is can I change my ugly ukdm plate and order one off that site for front Jdm style?
