Number plates - where from?
Posted: Thu, 13 Mar 2014 8:02 +0000
Hi guys. Where are people getting their number plates from nowadays?
I've brought the car (mk1 Eunos Roadster) over with me from England and registered it here, so now I need new plates. The car has the standard Eunos Roadster rear panel so I'll need to have the reg number split over two rows. My current (British) rear plate is 305x150mm. The new one could be a bit wider, but not much taller. Both the standard 'square' import plates the local motor factors have are too tall for the mounting aperture.
As for the front, I had the smallest plate I could have that still used legally sized characters, spacings, borders, etc, as shown in the photo below.

The current front plate is mounted on two small right angled brackets which are sandwiched between the front bumper and the front lower chin/lip spoiler. I want to do the same thing with the new Irish plate, so I don't want to use a standard Irish long, thin rectangular plate as I think it will look too big. Ideally I would have the size of the characters matched to those on the rear plate.
The new reg is 93 MO nnnnn, i.e. five digits.
I know I could try local signwriters but I thought I'd ask on here first as there may be existing number plate suppliers (e.g. online) who are used to making up Irish plates for Eunos Roadsters and have the templates all ready to go and everything.
Cheers guys.
PS If this thread would be better in a different part of the forum, just say.
