Vinyl Stick on Number Plates for MOT - Where?

[W55LSY]

So i failed MOT as there's no gap on provate plate (yeah I know - I forgot). Anyway, they said just get some vinyl number plate 'stickers' , whack them on at the testing station and all good.

Where can buy something like this?? Obviously they need to be within DVLA regulation. I'm thinking i'll have to go to a sign writers / decal supplier??

Ha true. They are 99.5% legal. It’s just the space between the 5 and L as in **5_L**

For the sake of 33mm, I'd have just stuck with W5 5LSY, not worth the £100 fine (if a copper fancies it) or MOT failure history on the car, just because its more aesthetically pleasing. I mean, it is your car and you can do what you like but I just couldn't be *****. I'd just get plates made up, can always swap over etc.

In 8 years of having that plate I’ve never had a fail or police ever notice it / comment

I’ve bought a basic set for £16. At least I have some spares now

However, it has just failed. So, next week your driving along and get the old blues and twos and get done for the plate, you just never know do you. Seeing as I've recently just been looking to buy a car, the amount of cars that have had advisories due to there being an undertray on a car is unreal... its not the 90's anymore! 100% of cars on the road these days are sold with them, how can it been an advisory? blows my mind.

MOT tester is clearly more on the ball than the tester from the last 8 years, unfortunately enough for you.

Those advisories won’t be specifically for the under tray, but because what is above it can’t be inspected as parts cannot be removed during the test. It’s just poor wording on the testers part.

Oh I know that it won't be for the actual undertray itself, as you say its the poor wording. Infuriates me.
