Number Plates

Hoops · 08-07-2009, 12:46 PM

Does anyone know of a company that could make me up a smaller sized (non-legal) front plate. I used to use a company called No1 Show Plates - but they have stopped making up smaller sized plates due to cost.

Basically, im wanting a FRONT plate made up that is standard legal width (legal is 20.5") but im wanting the height to be 3.5" (legal is 4.5")

Im also wanting legal sized lettering but in 3D and i'd like the plate to have a honeycomb backing - no borders and no graphics etc.

If anyone knows of a company that could make me up this sized plate please let me know, i'd be most grateful. Thanks!

steve i just find it funny your modding obsession has even turned to really specific 3d numberplates that all.

Ie to think up that mod you must have been high.

Thanks Smithy - just went on their website - ordered (hopefully!) the exact size and style i was looking for - only thing i couldnt get was 3D lettering as they just had the crappy looking shadowline in 3 different colours - but everything is fine - was hoping to get it before i go to the Ring next Friday but with the bloody postman on strike it may not happen?? Thanks for the heads up though buddy - appreciated!

I guess it does seem a little "anal" - its just i had the same size plate fitted to the front of my 997 and it really looked good and improved the look of the front end - the only angle i dont like the GT-R from is the front and the front end would really suit the slightly smaller plate - it'll still look butt ugly but its worth a try!!! No offence taken Stevo!!!

Steve,

I use fancyplates for all my new numberplates and have always been happy with the quality and the service from them. You should get them in time for next weekend.
