Hi all

Just noticed today that 2 letter of my front plate have almost disapeared. The odd thing is I washed the car last weekend and it was perfect, i also noticed that they seem sticky too, so anyway they need replacing.

What do I do? never had to change them on any other car, obviously want a legal setput and nothing bespoke, just as they come.

Do I need to register of do I just buy them online?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

Go to halfords and get some.

They need logbook, driving licence and a utility bill iirc.

And get euro ones too. They look way better.

I get mine online, no need to show the paperwork. Although they are then classed as show plates and in theory not road legal, but imho look perfect and are a hell of a lot better than these people who stick a screw the middle of something to try and get their initials on the cheap on a plate.

For my trailers, I went one step further and just went to an online site, typed in my numberplate and to gave a little preview image. I screen grabbed it, scaled it up in sized, printed out on my office colour laser on A3 (two sheets of paper), laminated and then stuck it behind a piece of numberplastic which I just happened to have :-) Did I say that tight was my middle name

B)

I use a decent supplier online who produces fully legal plates to the correct BS standard. And about half the price of Halfords.

PM me if you want details.

www.a1showplates.com is who I use.... but the hint is in the URL ;-) £19.95 for a pair (front/back) of Euro plates.

I got my presses plates of eBay from a guy in german . They was £19.95 with free P&P . Well impressed with them

Local scrappy done mine. Normal characters with black edging, skoda emblem, pistonheads.com on the front and briskoda.net on the back all for £20

Got mine from Demon Plates (The doomed black or carbon Fibre effect ones are not road legal btw )

get a ickle one like mine lol

how it is now

You might as well not fit one at all! Same chances of getting stopped

get a ickle one like mine lol

Loving the plates .

Now my next question did you paint the chrome surround yourself? If so whats involved? what primer prep etc

i sure did, some people say you should soak it in bleach or thinners but i just sanded it right back to remove the chrome before a few coats of plastic primer. etched it up again and then applied the base coat colour, again several coats before laquering.

Demon plates also have the skoda VRS GB logo
