    Metal number plates

    I need a new number plate and wanted to know if anyone's used any ebay sellers to get metal pressed one's (without stuff like gb/uk/german blue section at the end) as it may be easier/cheaper to get one from there.

    I basically want a plain numberplate no graphics fancy fonts etc, just would like a border in black preferably but interested in anything tbh. Just interested what other people have used.


    Sapphire cos running custom 2.8litre conversion,es cos rims,raven black leather interior and 500+ with the gas turned off.

    I've just ordered a set for my golf as I have transferred my private plate over...

    Did some research and you have to be very careful as to the ones you buy... Unless you want plod pulling you every 5 mins...

    This firm does UK legal ones and you can have them plain too...

                i get all my plates from CRAIGSPLATES, based in ireland.
                the last lot of surrounds i got from DUBMEISTER took 4 attempts and 3 weeks to sort out. i will never use these muppets again. complete waste of time. 2 sets broken when delivered, no packaging round them. 2 sets the wrong ones.

                  Mine arrived Yesterday...

                  Yes they were slow and needed a kick up the **** to get the order out...

                  They said they were waiting for the documents when I had emailed them the following day, after ordering...

                  Plates Look Really Nice when fitted and are UK Legal...

                      the reason i get my plates from ireland is you do not need to supply any documents. no messing about. they always come within about 2-3 days.

                        You can get it in ebay.That's the best option as its value for money.ebay is a reliable site.I myself have bought a lot of products from there.

                          The Dubmiester ones conform with all the regs that are mentioned in that thread...

                          Have a look at this...

                            They are British Standard stamped so are completely legal, that's what you want really, unless it's for show, in which case you want old skool German plates!

                              old skool german plates all the time for me. the car is on show every time i drive it.

                              what are the police going to do? fine me £30 ! that's the trouble with this country. i'm more than happy to pay the fines.
