you lied. well, sort of

purchased some on ebay Friday night. I bought a short rear plate and front and rear standard sized plates from 2 different sellers.

the short rear plate seller left me feedback and i haven't heard anything from them regarding documents.

the front and rear standard sized plate seller sent me a message last night requesting documents, which i'm definitely not going to be sending through ebay. you never know who's going to get your personal details

i'll see if the short rear plate turns up. But i'll go to a local motor spares place to get the standard ones made up instead.

what a long winded bloody joke this is

I think I checked them last week and decided not to pursue them when they wanted 35 quid delivered for 2 plates

but thanks anyway

The short rear plate from eBay has been dispatched, so it looks like I'll just need a standard front plate, which I'll probably go to Halfords for

That's OK cheers, I went for a 350mm rear plate which seems like it's gone through ok without the need for documents

I'm a bit apprehensive sending sensitive documents through the Internet, especially when I'm not sure who's looking at them the other end.

I don't know how easy it would be to replicate a V750, but as the plate is currently awaiting being assigned to a vehicle, I didn't want to take the risk

I've since ordered a set of gel plates (after ordering a small rear plate a couple of days ago, what a waste that will be), full sized front and 330mm wide rear which seem to have been dispatched without issue, so I'm hoping they turn up by the weekend, as they're a xmas present for my missus and I highly believe she will kill me with bagpipes and haggis if she doesn't get her present

Can’t recall name as I’m sat in Madrid

, but can find if required. I use a local company who do need docs but produce with min size, tiny logo, bs number and black border, correct font that looks OEM. 100% legal

I have several cars on small plates and all pass mot even post May ‘18. No need to worry..

Here’s one I did earlier

They look fantastic

I'm a little gutted that Mercedes decided to screw the number plate surround to the front bumper, meaning if removed it will leave 4 unsightly holes

So it means sticking with a full sized front plate, unfortunately.

I had the same issue on the Evoque but a spot of clear silicone and I stopped noticing.
One day I’ll respect
