Don't bother - they don't work.
If they can't see the plate in the developed picture they read the negative. (Show's up clear as day)

What you're asking is illegal under the new laws regarding number plates. The only symbols that can go on the side are the EU one, or the Union flag, St George, Red Dragon and Saltire.

Not only could you be pulled and fined for it (and the Feds do appear to be cracking down on this lately), so could the place who made the plate. Ergo, you probably won't find a registered number plate supplier willing to do it...

There's no problem with the honeycomb background, you should be able to get that through most plate suppliers.

As for the "fancy" plates from Fancyplates, have you seen the disclaimer in the terms and conditions? These are sold on the basis that they're not legal for road use!

My brother has these plates on his Beemer and he has been "flashed" several times and has never been done.
Perhaps he has just been fortunate but the consequences
of being caught using these plates will be severe.

Over in NZ, the plates have to be visible mounted from the bumper, I put mine on a couple of wires so when you get to 30Km/h the plate tucks up under the bumper, still passes WOF.

My uncle uses gate hinge on his.

So.... Find out the fitness laws and bend the interpretation of it so long as it is not out of context.
