I bought a set from eBay recently for £11.99 delivered which were great. Biggest hassle is buying from someone who wants you to send them your registration document; so buy from someone who makes show plates and check they do legal plates; most do. I’m not happy to send off my reg document.

Alternatively Fancy Plates still operate from Ireland I think so also don’t require you to send them docs; but they are twice the price.

Bought my last pair from an eBay company @integrale_evo told me about... Though I can't find them anymore. Maybe Harry still has the link?

Used these loads of times, quick service, good quality, really tiny makers details, gone up a bit now, but still loads cheaper than anywhere local I found.

Whilst we’re on the subject of number plates, does anyone know where to get 3/4 sized stick on plates? I can’t find anyone that still does them.

Too small and non-reflective. I can’t find anyone doing 400x85 with a reflective background. I know they’re not legal anyway, but still want them to be sort of OK.

Staticplates do cling/grip ones and pretty sure they'll do any size. Not cheap though.

Probably best off asking on a classic car forum.

Email one of the places that do stick-on reflective plates in other sizes and ask ? I’m sure they can do whatever size you want.

I've got a spare rear plate if you're not fussy about the letters and numbers. :)
