I still have all my plates made with the old lettering!! I will have a word with the guy and ask if he can put v3m at the bottom of the plates.
Price is good as well.

If he can do the Euro border, I'll be very interested. Not a political statement at all...I just like the look!

Seconded on Euro plates on old style fonts, my reasoniing is flippin political. I ain't having new number plates on an old car. Why is my 300 any different to an Austin 7, apart from I don't keep it in a bloody box. And they don't have to have new lettering, they are still allowed black plates. Ageism, and makeism, and general ismism is the problem.

*That rambling means if its possible for either Dai or GT graffix to do a pair, or old style letters, with added goodies, I'm keen*

I am liking this idea a lot! Really cool plan. Just purely out of interest, how do the new laws regarding number plates affect a company such as this? As I know when I replaced one of mine, I had to produce the log book at least, I seem to think I needed my driving licence too, might be wrong! But yep, I'll be interested.

GTG do the carbon fibre look...for the RICERS in our midst ;)

I wonder whether they can get away with it since they're based in Ireland...?

You don't need to show GTG your V5C as they're based in Dublin. They can sell you any kind of Ricer plate, but it may not be road legal in the UK.

Oh yes, if anyone can find a supplier of old-style font plates with red line and V3M logo, I'd be interested.

Cheers!

Nice idea for the number plates, but impossible to do in Belgium, all I could do is a "number plate holder" in plastic with the address of the website on it...
