Acrylic number plates and digit styles
Acrylic number plates.
We have found from experience, that most of our customers when buying a personalised registration number, will prefer to obtain the actual acrylic number plates themselves.
This is usually down to the fact that the customer will require a particular style of digit on the number plates or a specific logo such as a Scottish Saltire flag. They may even require an odd sized pair to go on, for example: an imported vehicle.
As with most personalsied registration dealers we do not manufacuture and supply the actual physical acrylic ‘number plates’.
We feel that you can get much better value for money by ordering over the internet or over the telphone with acrylic number plate and show plate specialists such as the following companies:
You can of course always choose to walk into a high street motoring accessory store, such as your local branch of Halfords who will usually make up a pair of number plates in your chosen style whilst you wait.
How to fix number plates to your vehicle.
We always consider the best way of fixing a pair of number plates to your vehicle is by sticking them on. For a full range of fixing accessories which will help you to get the best mount onto your vehicle take a look here.
There is currently a huge range of accessories on the market to offer you the perfect solution for obtaining that ‘grown there’ look.
You so often will see cars on the road where number plates have been screwed on. This more often than not will spoil the look of the personalsied registration number, due to the fact that water has crept into the inside of the number plates through where the hole has been drilled. You will also see number plates on vehicles where they look ‘rippled’ due to the fact that the person has drilled the fixing holes either too near or too far apart.
There are also some very attractive number plate surrounds and frames currently on the market which will also enhance the look of your personalised number plates. Depending on the specific model of vehicle that they are to be mounted onto, you will find these more often than not will add to the overall look.
So, the golden rule to achieve the best look for your new personalised number plates is “always stick them on where possible”, you would never buy a Mona Lisa and fix it to the wall by drilling two holes through the actual picture would you? We feel that is the same with personalised number plates.
