Custom vinyl self adhesive number plates

Post by NafemanNathan » Thu Jan 29, 2015 2:36 pm

Does anyone know where you can get custom self adhesive (So vinyl) number plates, with import size lettering (64mm high) on reflective back ground?

... So legal besides the whole vinyl bit.

I've had one before on an old 4th gen, but I can't find them now.

@si import, what size are your letters, and is it reflective?

Anyway, have you thought about emailing one of the may people on Ebay to see if they can do you one in import size font? A quick google brings up this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REFLECTIVE-ST ... 0507627449

Craigsplates are also usually accommodating - https://www.craigsplates.com/self-adhesive-number-plate

I've bought a caravan/ trailor sticker plate off eBay with the correct font size

@Shiny... Craigplates only do 79mm letters. They're who I normally use.

There are so many on ebay and I'm always weary of the quality, plus none of them state letter size, so I didn't want to have to message all the best looking ones. I'll give those guys you linked to a shot though.

@W1ggz... Got a link mate?

Cheers si :)

I had been messaging that guy from Shiny's link, but he just stopped replying. Hopefully he'll pick it up in the morning.

Did you manage to have a look @si import?

Craigsplates no longer do self adhesive numberplates at all, and every where else just does black vinyl letters stuck on top of reflective vinyl. I didn't say at the start, but I'm after the digits being reverse printed on to the film and then that being stuck to the reflective backing, so the whole thing is smooth. This is what I've had before.

I got my sticker number plate from trago mills, just cut down the main bit to suite and pick the right size stickers. I was told its illegal due to not being flat and I must fit a standard fixed plate for mot.

Also one of the letters has half ripped off and it's now marker pen :)
