Back in the day hand assembled numbers plates were great quality and lasted for years and years with very few issues. The trade then moved on to the printed backing rather than the ''hand made'' affairs and for me there has been a problem ever since. I admit that I am extremely picky with a very critical eye for detail, but for the love of God there must be somewhere out there that are offering a ''quality'' number plate? I had a set made today from my local Mercedes dealer that are not fit to be put on a child's go-kart, absolute poo! bubbles and creases and the bits of black numbering that the printer failed to produce were filled in with black permanent marker! I S**T you not, I'm bloody livid, not only is that a shoddy bit of kit but it is the fact that whoever made them thought....Ah he won't notice! that's the real kick in the nuts! Being palmed off with sub-spec crap really makes me boil! Thoughts and any pointers as to where to get some ''proper'' number plates made would be good. I have ''googled'' it and not had much joy, just lots of cheap and nasty ebay type stuff, not what I'm after. Surely there must be someone out there offering quality materials, free of bubbles, pubes, faults and permanent marker fill ins!?
