    Default Replica Plate?

    Last year when I was having body work done on my vehicle, my british plate (on the back) was removed and subsequently lost. Despite searching for it, it has never turned up. So my question is this - is their anyone out there who manufactures replica plates (correct size, color and my old #'s), or is this British high treason? Thoughts appreciated.

    Cheers.

    I have a fuzzy recollection of our hosts selling some sort of customized number plate at one point. Not sure if they still do. Les would surely be able to tell you.

    Front plates are easy to find--Rear plates are a different story. Might have to have one made in the UK.

    Wait--Here's a place that makes them. Yikes!

    To what plate are you referring? The GB plate? Or the UK license plate?

    Les - not sure what the difference is between the GB plate and the UK license plate you mentioned. The one I lost was yellow rectangular with black lettering.

    What exactly is the difference between the GB & UK plates and front versus rear? The rear that is attached to mine is approximate 12" x 12", black w/ silver letters/numbers. Would be cool to have the matching front.
