thanks! if you saw my plate....it had quite a bit of work on it...Salsa-King logo with dancin Scooby Doo, my name in full and a line boarder, scooby doo pix POTN logo then my Registation is in a slight slant, but has a standard letter style!
cost about £40, they also made the front plate a lot shorter than the stand length so it gave more space for the air to get into the rad!! + STONES!!!!! lol

Cool i called em today & kud do standard plate with design of choice on right for £30 quid so the chap said as Mike not around. Cunning plan with the slightly smaller as i had wondered about freeing up sum air space Oh well sod it i wana scooby now dunno about words but may add a union jack 4 good measure
Si

 

here's my smaller front plate, as you see i'm only FIL 973 so really i had only 6 digits to worry about and having the I and L meant i had room to play with s i could get the plate shorter!!!



just gives you the idea....not slight slant on the letters....passes MOT fine....as it can be read at the set distance no problem, plus the letters are standard hight and size JUST on a tilt!!!

Stupid question time:
Got me scooby plate today so that's a bonus However time 4 the da stoopid bit how do u get the holes in it so u can screw it on? Drill time is it?
All sensible answers greatfully received
Si

 

How the hell else would you get holes in it.. with a Hairdryer

 

What I usually do is take of the old ones and then lay them over the top to line them up. Leave the plastic on the new ones though / or stick some masking tape over to stop the plastic cracking.

Hope this helps.

Steve

 

So is there anything i should know about the drilling process as i iz dangerous in the hands of power tools lol.
Er not too biga hole i guess thou?
Si

 

stephen30 tells it how it is!!
make sure ur drill bit fits through the holes of your OLD number plate! then you know your holes will be the same!

Phil

 

Drill slowly avoiding too much pressure otherwise CRACK !!!

 

from the front or back best?
Phil i mailed u also regards did u ask for owt special with your plates as mine look like they just printed em on paper then put em inbetween the sticky stuff! Not overly impresses as well as looking a bit cheap it has a couple of mm's of white around the scooby b4 the blue background as well as slight outline from where the sticky stuff aint stuck due to extra width of the forementioned paper?
Will post pix on Monday but guna speak 2 em tommorrow see what they have to say
Si

 

Best to do it from the front then all the scruffy bits are at the back. I reckon a 6.5mm dril or so. That's what I used for mine with standard screws.
You'll have to post thme on here so we can all see them.

Steve

 

si
it will be sort no doubt!


Phil

 

I'm not going to post the images as i am confident like Phil says that they will rectify any issues so watch this space & i shall post the end result

 

Stick your plates on with strong velcro from halfords. No drill holes and easy to switch if you get a tug from the law. " Sorry officer, just on my way back from a track day, I'll change them now for you". Sorted!!

 

Where did you get that plate made up Matt, and did u supply the scooby doo graphic or did they? Gotta get me one of those.

Edited to say - just downloading that track now. Downloaded Loco as well which is a quality track.
