Does anyone have a recommendation for a number plate maker, for a quality plate that won't fall apart or split in the first year!

I've had a lot of trouble with the plastic plates supplied by the dealer. When I replaced them after about 4 years they had delaminated to the point where the letters were becoming less readable than they should be. I bought a set of aluminium ones from a guy on eBay and they are faultless after knocking on 6 years. Price was very little different to plastic.

This could open a can of worms but are pressed aluminium plates legal, and on the same subject, are the raised gel letters that PFC supply legal. We had a logo on the last M/H but apparently that is actually illegal, although we were never stopped. |

The ones that I have are made with the correct reflective coatings for front and rear and have the GB emblem at the side of the plate. The place making them was, if I remember correctly, somewhere in Essex and they were advertised as being to the correct standard. I think that the old black and silver ones are not legal except on cars that would have had them when they were first registered. |

That's tough BK - the edges on mine were all but polished. You'd really struggle to cut through a haggis with mine  much less a cleaning sponge ( - I think I'm right in assuming a haggis is more delicate than a cleaning sponge? we'll not go into them tasting the same! ) Guess it's down to the quality of the plates the dealer fitted. They are supposed to have the manufacturers name and contact details(?) on them but sometimes the dealer makes the plates and puts their own name on them.
