JohnK Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Just a headsup to everyone. If you are looking for the fancyplates website who a number of people here have used and been happy with (myself included) use fancyplates. COM Dont use .co.uk which is another site offering nuberplate and registrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 are these the guys based in Ireland so they can get round the new number plate laws? I really must get a set of Branners plates made up for shows. What sort of prices have people been paying for custom plates? JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted July 4, 2004 Author Share Posted July 4, 2004 Yep they are the ones in Ireland, Ive just ordered a new back plate, cost me £17.03 the plate itself was £12.50 the rest P&P. I think the last time I ordered a full set it was under £30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Me too. Took about a week for me, but still good service, and exactly what I wanted in terms of size and lettering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Can you actually use these on your car or is it only for show purposes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not confirm to the new rules and regs, and therefore are for off road use only.....................................apparantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Ordered mine last week and looking forward to getting them. Should be mostly road legal as I didn't go for scrolly text or out. Then it's off to DVLA to get the tax and MOT switched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Yes, the .co.uk bit takes you to Newreg, a number plate dealers (or it did the last time I looked). Nice/terrible bit of domain name stealing... My only complaint about them is that I think their website is confusing. If you want bog standard plates (eg, road legal, no fancy lettering) you go through the 'standard plates' constructer but they give maximum sizes for these and they aren't big enough for the rear of a J Spec. If you want bog standard plates that are bigger you have to go through their 'fancyplates constructor' bit Why not just select 'standard plates' and you state the size? I wasn't aware of any laws around how big the yellow bit has to be...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castle Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Anyone know where i can get some sort of Plate holder (if you know what i mean) i know they did a GReddy one somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 These guys seem a little expensive for me. Not sure how they make them up but most of the guys now print out the plates. This is good as you can add your own font, watermark, border, text along bottom, etc.. For example I added a Supra logo as a watermark, some text along the bottom and a balck border (passed MOT as well ). If yu have it on an electronic file format (jpg, gif, etc) he can put it on the lpate in any way you want. I'm sure he would be able to send an electronic picture file for approval before he prints. This guy's main job is printing signs so the quality is great... £20 for the set. Let me know if you are interested and I will give him a call to see if he would do postage to UK. Don't see why not as they are for show plates only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Update. Incase anyone was still in two minds about fancyplates I can confirm a first class service. Ordered on Friday, delivered on Monday. 45 mins @ DVLA and half an hour with a drill and all is tickety boo. Little Toyota logo and Supra logo too.
