In order to enjoy a painless introduction to the world of personalised plates, there are a few simple requirements to be taken into account.
- Firstly you'll need to be able to search available registration numbers to find the perfect number for you. We have taken care of that by providing a wide range of search options for your use - you'll find a list of searches by clicking the 'Find a number plate' link in the main menu.
- Secondly, you'll need to make sure that the registration
you have found can be transferred to your vehicle. The
most important thing to be aware of is that you may not
display a registration plate that would make your vehicle
appear younger than it actually is. For example, if your
car was originally registered with an 'M' prefix number
plate you would not be able to buy and display 'P' prefix
plates (or any other letter that came after 'M'); nor
would you be able to buy and display any of the current
style plates which have the year specified in a number
such as '02' or '52'. Any of those would make your car
appear younger than it really is. So, in short, you must
select either from the range of 'dateless' personalised
plates, which have no year identifier, or you must choose
from registration numbers that were issued before your
vehicle was first registered.
It's actually far simpler than it sounds, but if you're not sure about anything please give us a call on 01582 477333: we'll be happy to answer all your questions. - You also need to know a couple of things about the actual
acrylic plastic number plates we supply. We are able to
offer a range of approved national flag emblems and border
styles, and we offer a choice of flat or 3D-style lettering.
However, like all other suppliers, we must comply with
the current regulations governing the display of registration
numbers. This means we can not supply number plates with
altered spacing, or plates bearing any other decoration
except the approved national emblems. We also have to
use the prescribed regulation font - although, as mentioned
above, you may choose either flat or 3D-styles.
We advise all our customers to avoid any supplier offering to provide registration numbers on plates with non-standard fonts or spacing. It is illegal to display such number plates on your vehicle, with penalties including large fines and loss of entitlement to your cherished registration.
Registration numbers can be great fun and a sound investment - we hope the information above helps you to get the most out of yours.
