We made our own from a bit of ally! Stamped it up and painted a border on it...

I did the same - the DVLA man was happy with it (pop-rivetted to the chassis, with some PU sealer behind).
Still had to stamp the number onto the chassis itself, though

... which doesn't half ruin the nice flat surface you started with!

if you want all the fancey writing and stuff on it like that ford one get someone with laser printer and some ohp film print out the top template
stamp the letters no. on it right places them pop rivet the ohp film to the ally plate and onto the chassis works well plus you can get really thick
OHP film now.
Another idea is that transfere film they make for deskjets that you iron onto t-shirts you could do the same with the ally plate same priciple as the
professionals use. But i would varnish it with some acrylic varnish like halfords sell just to be safe. As deskjet inks a bit fragile.
Plus it cost a lot less then £15
