replacement number plate

I'm looking to replace my standard rear number plate, which is ~ 110mm high, with a bigger plate that fits a little more snugly into place. DVLA showed me a list of places nearby and unfortunately they don't supply this format, well one of them does but they don't have the GB badge and I want this badge.

I've been online and the problem I find (for me anyway) is that the blue background on the GB badge does not extend all the way to the outer edge of the plate. I find this ugly. Has anyone here sourced a replacement number plate whereby the GB badge, on the left of the plate, runs all the way to the edge?

what I don't want:

Also, I need to choose my own slogan. Currently I have Colliers Land Rover and I want to keep this.

Any suggestions much appreciated Bow down Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

I've been there Jaggs but according to their plate creator there is a gap between the badge background and the plate edge. Take a look at what they're showing me:



however this is what I want:

Same there Col, the badge background doesn't extend to the plate edge. Maybe you can confirm for me by checking your number plate? Cheers Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

They are based in Ireland so last time I ordered some plates didn't even have to fart about sending copies of the logbook etc as they don't have that silly law. Got to love the Irish. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Best be quick ordering those Euro styled plates Whistle

On second thoughts they may have some value in years to come when we stop using them. I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.

It's a choice of mine and I consider myself to be a rational decision maker. Your comment is offensive. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

Apologies if I offended, I just thought it rather unusual that anyone would be particularly fussed about keeping their dealer name on a number plate.

In the UK there is strict legal sizes for Lettering and typeface on number plates and they have to be made by an approved centre etc. There is a fine for wrong size and if noticed watch out at MOT time. Illegal spacing of letters to make up names or words is also illegal. Be careful out there. Wink John

You don't have to have a dealer name on the Number Plate, but the name of the Company that produced the plates has to be printed on the plate (bottom centre) and Standard to which it was produced (BS AU 145d) must be printed at the bottom right corner of the plates for them to be legal - as per Johnski's note above. The latest ANPR cameras will pick up even minor deviations in the standard Number Plate and you can get a notification in the post of the discrepancies and the action required to remedy them.

I know, I was that man!!!
