I'm getting metal pressed as per Dave DND's helpful link above. The vinyl or plastic would do but you only save a couple of £ going down those routes and the metal look better close up. Although I can appreciate vinyl would be easier to slap on to a flat surface than playing around with brackets.

Your show plates look perfect but I'm never going to get anywhere near 'show' level - I lack the required mentality and patience ! I just want to legally fit in when on the road.

Good stuff. I have pressed metal ones for every day use, i got them from ebay too. I think they are steel though not aluminium. Not that it matters for a regie plate what material! but if/when its back on the road I'll use them at shows to cover up my regie plate. Not that I have anything to hide, but you never know who's taking snaps of your car.

I was just uploading this image when your post arrived and this site 'warned' me that I might like to review the posts before proceeding - things are so alive around here !

Anyway the aluminium (too flimsy for steel !) plates have arrived and are spot on. My buggy is still at the garage getting a rear cage fitted but when it returns I'll get some double sided tape and fix these into place.



As a matter of interest who / what harm could a photo of your reg in situ do. Surely if you are all legal then you are proud of the reg. Or am I missing something ?

Jury is out on that one - some say that it makes life easy for those cloning numbers to target a vehicle if they can see full details online, and some say that it is possible with all the various apps and online searches around that trouble could be somehow caused by using such information in a malicious way.

Personally, I have a one off car, and I like to stick my head out of the sand and show it off wherever I can, so such things do not bother me 

But I respect fully, that some are troubled by such, and that is cool also. 

OK. Very interesting and fine.

Mind you if someone was stupid enough to clone a buggy plate, in this case one belonging to Arran's yellow one, then if ANPR cameras or the police get more sophisticated they will immediately realise that the Silver Ford Mondeo in front of them is not as per the DVLA computer, and pull it over to arrest the baddies....
