I need a supplier of Legal number plates cheep - as it apeals to my Yorkshireness .

Online preferably and in the UK as delivery via air freight may be a problem at the moment.

I bought a pair for the tintop a month or so ago from an eBay seller for £8.25 delivered.

They don't have any for sale at the mo' but there's loads of other sellers.

They were 3M, perfect and delivered the next day

anyone know what the correct cutdown size is but keeping legal letter size and spacing ?

ie: no border or crap just the reg number

From V796 http://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/forms/~/media/pdf/leaflets/V796.ashx

Character height 79 mm
Character width (except the figure 1 or letter I) 50 mm
Character stroke 14 mm
Space between characters 11 mm
Space between groups 33 mm
Top, bottom and side margins (minimum) 11 mm
Space between vertical lines 19 mm

So minimum height is 101mm, width depends on the number of character and number of 1's and I's.

Demon Plates look pretty good, they also do tons of sizes and i think they do cut down ones as well

i got my trailer plate off ebay, its a roll up one but once screwed down it looks just the same. It was well cheap, though i cant remember the price. About £3 delivered.
