[Johnerz]

I just went to Halfords, and they were fine.
You'll need to take the V5.

Decent? They're just a piece of plastic mate and all made using the same equipment. eBay is your friend - £10 a pair incl p&p is not impossible to find.

I have just had some sets of acrylic 'bubble plates' made up with the Carbon Fibre lettering. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222130369349?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT I have gone with clean, blank plates and the correctly spaced letters and fonts. Happy with that.

I went back to the traditional (correct) MB 4 screw attachments - as opposed to sticky pads. Using stainless torx screws.

Tip: Drill the plates through, from the back with sharp drill bit. This avoids delamination when you drill the holes. Only use stainless screws. Looks nice and avoids rust runs down the nice clean plates.

I'm kind of with you on that one mate. A relatively cheap set off eBay will be much the same as anywhere.

I got some pressed plates from eBay for £20 delivered. Used sticky pads to attach and sent through the MOTs fine.

Much of a muchness from my experience OP.

Taylor Made Decals. I have always used for number plates. Stephen is fast, efficient and professional.

FWIW i always have aluminum plates they don't tend to suffer from delamination like plastic.

He can replicate any main dealer marking's as well and yes they are BS marked.

Eh? The original equipment on a Benz (or nearly any other make) is ... no plate at all.

Who supplies the plates fitted by the dealer will depend on the dealer, surely.

I`ve just had a pair of 16 inch ones made up by a seller on ebay (usual length is 20 inches) Road legal for 6 characters or less

Someone mentioned the pressed steel number plates here a few weeks ago which you can get from eBay. They do look pretty good!

It got through the MOT , I thought the pressed metal ones were not road legal ?

Maybe, but I've had cheap plates delaminate quite quickly whereas the ones on my SL (dealer ones, whoever supplied them) still look like new after 13 years.

Bought min here:

Good quality, very pleased.

Also, the mandatory manufacturer ID is very tiny and can hardly be seen, which is great.
