New Number Plates - Online

[Albannach]

I'm trying to get some legal number plates on-line, but I don't want the supplier's URL plastered along the bottom of the plate.

Can any of you recommend somewhere to have legal plates made up, but are also discrete with the BS marking and their postcode?

Cant you just tell them you only want the postcode? What does DVLA say?

I got a Halfords plate for Maggie's Honda, front plate, nothing on it.
Does the supplier details only have to be on the rear plate?

They're very helpful if you message them first with your requirements.

Cheers Vince, I'll have a look.

Alan & Rich - Halfords want £40 for 2 standard lettered plates (they say it's because it's a non standard size and any embellishments are extra).

Andy - I haven't asked the DVLA, the guys that are selling them say that that's the only way they have of making them legal. They can leave the details off, but the plates won't be legal.

Bob - Thanks for the offer, I'll check out Vince's link first, see what they come up with.

Has it always been a legal requirement to display post code and maker?
Surely on a '96 truck, a '96 regulation plate would be acceptable? How does anyone define the age of a plastic plate upon inspection?
I'm thinking along the same lines as the bull bar scenario...

[Albannach]

It's not retrospective, but one of the recent MOT changes says that the number plate must show the relevant BS number and the maker has to be identifiable and verifiable.

The rule has nothing to do with the vehicle's age, only the age of the plate. I need new plates for IV's MOT, so would rather buy legal ones ... Just in case!

The big letters are a "slogan". They are not required. Everything required is in small print in the corner.

Get them from Demon Plates, they are legal and you can remove the big "demon plates" lettering from the bottom. Its a custom design jobby. Used them more than once.

Demon are twice the price of the folk in Vince's link. I've e-mailed the eBay guys, see what they can come up with.

I know you specified on line, but others already spoiled that with their Halfords suggestions. Have you tried your local motor factors ? some of them do plates and do them at decent prices too.

Yep, tried all the local folk that I know (including the wee shop below my flat), but none can supply exactly what I want. Halfords are a joke with their pricing.

Online is easier too. I tend to be busy during the day; so ordering online, in the evening, suits me better.

Proplates won't supply a legal plate without the BS mark and their URL in large letters and on the border.
