Buying number plates online

Post by cheb »

Where do you get yours? Having read of preferences for white or black backgrounds I thought I might get the choice, but I couldn't find a supplier that gave me the options.

It's no big deal, the plate's behind me and the bike is scruffy.

I use these guys,

Good selection of styles and sizes especially suitable for a off-road style bike.

Thanks. I'd already bought one before I posted this, it was more curiosity that prompted the post.

Standard plates seem to be about £15, and nobody sells the cheap flimsy plates that fall apart in a matter of weeks, only their competitors sell those. :|

I haven't bought a bike plate for a couple of years now, but I recently needed a rear number plate (for a trailer) and it was tricky to find ebay vendors that didnt require you to send your V5 and proof of address. Not that I don't have these documents, it's just the ballache of having to send them off (scans not acceptable!).
