  • Reg plates

    Now that I'm almost SVa (tomorrow maorning hopefully) I need to think about plates. Anyone know where I can get proper fitting plates, or what size plates I need for the surf. Anyone ever been stopped for having "illegal" plates, ie like putting "www.hiluxsurf.co.uk" at the bottom

    www.gtgrafix.co.uk next day delivery and do any size you want...

    don't think it's illegal to have wording at the bottom (halfords print their name on theirs!)... only illegal to have "non standard" lettering

          I think all plates made now have to have the postcode of the issuing shop/garage at the bottom.

          If you can find someone to do it for you though I can't see how they would know you hadn't had them for a while.

                Postcoding at the bottom of the plates doesn't apply to mail order plates. When they arrive they have a cover note saying that the plates are for show use only, but I would advise the correct lettering size and spacing.

                The correct sizes can be found on DVLA's web site, but don't be fooled by "standard UK plates" you want to look at "Non EEC cars with limited space". That way you get away with the smaller lettering

                P.S. I'm getting "Big Pimpin" on the bottom of my new plates

                  Here, I copied the following from DVLA's web site;


                  Display of Vehicle Registration Marks on Imported Vehicles
                  (which have a restricted space for a standard sized number plate)

                  Certain imported vehicles may be permitted to display number plates with smaller characters if:

                  *
                  The vehicle does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval

                  AND

                  * The vehicle's construction/design cannot accomodate standard size number plates

                  Specifications for smaller sized plates (for certain imported vehicles)

                  Character Height = 64mm

                  Character Width = 44mm

                  Character Stroke = 10mm

                  Space between characters = 10mm
                  Cheers,
                  Sean
