Private Plates

AndyT306 · Mar 23, 2017

The wife has just bought me a private plate for my birthday (not till June)

Where's best to get them made up, thinking of sticking on instead of screwing?

Are metal embossed plates legal?

BarryG79 · Mar 23, 2017

When I took my private plate off the last car I got replacements from eBay, decent quality for the price.

Came supplied with screws and sticky pads to fit as you like, just need to drill them if using screws.

BarryG79 · Mar 23, 2017

Doesn't look like it according to this article.

these are bs stamped

BarryG79 · Mar 23, 2017

Should be ok then....hopefully!

Check the plates my mate Dougie fitted to his M140i. No BS marking but he's prepared to run them until told other wise

lol

smooth! i think i will get some, in fitting with german design

could get smaller ones too as it's only a 5 character plate - but the recess on the A6 grille is the perfect size for a standard plate

BarryG79 · Mar 23, 2017

Get some pics up when purchased then.

Might just have to wait till my birthday to put them on!

I've got pressed plates from a seller on eBay. They have the bs mark and postcode of supplier which i believe makes them fine. Also have standard lettering and fonts.

AndyT306 · Mar 24, 2017

cool found some on there and they are a damn sight cheaper

KrisKrk · Mar 25, 2017

I got those 3D gel ones and they are wicked. Road legal, if with all proper markings.

AndyT306 · Mar 25, 2017

still can't decide what to get...

KrisKrk · Mar 25, 2017

Metal pressed might not bend around curves of the grille or number plate holder. They have borders pressed too.

I think, I've seen maybe one plate metal pressed but few already as gel ones I got. Only on the nice cars, tho

RAF_S7 · Mar 25, 2017

I like the raised 3D carbon type of plate.

Got mine from here :racer:

Rich76 · Apr 6, 2017

I've just ordered a set for mine

5 digit plate so the front I have had made smaller in length but still legal digits

Rear will be a standard size plate with a gb badge on the end as we drive in Europe a lot

AndyT306 · Apr 6, 2017

i was going to get ones with a GB badge... but they'll need changing when we leave the EU

Just get the GB magnetic oval thingy, scrap the EU badge

Rich76 · Apr 6, 2017

No eu badge
Just letteres GB under a st George cross flag

KrisKrk · Apr 6, 2017

I like to keep it plain and simple so have nothing else that is not required to be legal. Added on GB magnetic oval when was driving to Europe to be on the safe side.

Rich76 · Apr 13, 2017

Car is on the drive
Plates are on and looking sweet
