classic number plates ???

does anyone know where i can get a black and silver aluminium number plate knocked up as i want one of the rectangular ones on the front of minnie not the fekkin square one as i have that but it just dont look right anywhere due to the front wings being off a series 3

any help greatly apreciated
and many thanks in advance

Do you think you'll change the wings eventually?

i dunno about the wings but there will be a series 2 grille and front pannel going on when i find one and besides an oblong plate will still look right on top of the front bumper

They all seem to be quite expensive. I paid a lot for some yellow & white 70's style aluminium plates with 3d riveted numers / letters earlier this year

I never got to the bottom of when you're allowed to use them. I was looking for some for my bus but folks seemed to think it was too new to allow them...?

the rule of thumb seems to be anything built before 1973 according to that site posted up

I picked up some on eBay, that are pressed steel/ally, but in the yellow&black/white&black format with a legal font, that look pretty decent and didn't cost an outrageous amount, might be worth a look!

just ordered a pair .....just gotta wait 4 days for them to arrive now

have used these people before they make a good job had show plates done for my triumph SINGLE BLACK & SILVER PRESSED ALUMINIUM NUMBER PLATES | eBay

I was trying to get some silver/black ones for my series 3 but they just seemed REALLY expensive for what they are.

10 quid is not expensive considering they are pressed metal and that poxy plastic ones are about 25 quid

well theyve arrived and for £18 a pair theyre pretty fekkin good

ive spent the earlier half of today fitting them and making one hell of a bracket for the front one out of an old electric fire shelf thing i had in the shed ( it wont rot coz its got that enamel coating stuff on it )

and now spent the latter hapf of the day on pubic < no i havent spelled public wrong
transport doing a little retail therapy getting 2 inner tubes (one for the new rim and one spare ) and a pair of new windscreen washer jets

then treated meself to a brand new drop plate for the tow ball

hopefully it wont be long before im MOT'ed and on the road

Any chance of a piccy?

£18 is way cheaper than I was seeing, I did only look at like 1 website though. Think I will be getting some after all now!
