View Full Version : best place to buy a plate
where do you guys consider the best place to buy a numberplate from, they must be able to alter the appearance of letters/numbers. in my case i want the 6 made to look more like an O and make the 1 a little thinner and closer to the 6!
heres one i made earlier..... a bit rough i know lol

Isn't the practise of altering the characters a bit illegal....
If you must have something that resembles CONDE, you won't find it online, you might have to find somewhere/someone who can make up the plate from pre cut characters which then have a transparent film rolled over the top. The last plates I got made were designed on a computer, then printed as one transparency which stuck over the reflective back. These type of plates are harder to get altered spacing.

do you have *sneeze* have any *sneeze* digits altered on your *sneeze* plates lol lol
Fcuk with the registration and the DVLA may decide they want to withdraw it.
best way round it is to carry a set of legal plates in the car, if you get pulled explain to the copper youve been at a car show or photoshoot of your car and forgot to swap your plates back over, offer to swap them there and then in front of them and you should get away with a warning

dont have any digits altered but m,y plate does measure 280x70mm

spot on idea mate

Yeah just carry some legal ones with you in the boot :cool: :thumb:

I got mine from www.theplateman.co.uk (http://www.theplateman.co.uk) :p good stuff. I have had 'special' plates on all of my cars (except the Cav) and it has been fine. I think it just depends on the area, the coppers and also your attitude to them when they pull you over. TBH there are so many t0$$ers round here their big flash cars with private plates and illegal fonts/ spacing etc that the police would have a hell of a job if they decided to do anything about it. Just don't go doing what ANDYRACER did and get the wrong plates made up hehehe.
There was a discovery driving round my part of the world with the reg J100NAS, nothing strange, but they had doctored it to try and make F10NAS, it looked rough but they were never stopped.....
The law is that the size & spacing are set but the font can be altered.
You could be stopped & fined, & the car could fail its mot test.

I did just this just before conad bought the nova of me and still got a fine so thats that one out the window
hopefully though il be able to butter up the coppers round here, not many of them seem to go in 'overdrive power mode' if you polite and co-operative
Just don't go doing what ANDYRACER did and get the wrong plates made up hehehe.
LMFAO
or actually be "cool" and pay for the plate to say what its meant to.
altered plates to look like something "nearly" right are toss.
If you persistantly get caught with iffy plates the plod report it to the DVLA and the DVLA revoke your registration and you get a Q plate back lol

To me it looks like it says CINDY any way. Which is a girls name.
Why bother?
I have yet to see an 'altered' plate that doesnt look stupid. As said above - why bother?
or actually be "cool" and pay for the plate to say what its meant to. lol
NO, because it cost nearly ?11,000 for C10NDE lol

smiles, charm and plenty of 'yes sir' 'no sir' goes a long way doesnt it lol
LMAO @ Stuart trying to give some advice on being 'cool' lol
You have been warned about what could possibly happen, but if you are happy with that then go for it. If you want to do anything which isn't 100% legal then I wouldn't mention it on this site because you know what they are like lol
I'm gon stop now because I think if I'd posted what I originally typed, I'd probably get banned lol
