...three-quarter size front number plates?

Post by RexyJay »

Ok, yeah... I know they're a bit naughty, but I still want one. ;)

So, where did you get your three-quarter size front number plates made? I've found a few places online that offer them, but I also found that they have a tendency to over-inflate their shipping costs - £12 to post a single plate seems a bit of an insult!

Any recommendations?

Having got the link to hand but many ebay sellers do them, if u do a search on there,I've been running a 3 quarter size plate for 18 months with no issues.

Cheers, Dazza - I'd already scoured eBay to no avail. :(

I had no problem finding a decent seller (jap_graphics) to sort import-sized plates for me in the past, but 406x89mm doesn't appear to be that common a size.

Yeah, I'd spotted that seller... they can definitely do the size I'm after, but only as non-relective stick on vinyl - not as perspex plates, which is what I'm after.

Cheers, though - hope I'm not coming across as being too picky! :lol:

Nice one, SeeJay - ordered!

My plate works out a tenner cheaper from these guys than from the place I'd found. Will wait and see how it turns out! ;)

Well, Fancy Plates certainly impress - I ordered on Monday and my plate arrived less than 48hrs later. Quality and finish looks great... just need the DVLA to pull their finger out so I can get the plates installed on my car!
