hi.
i have an mx5 cage - don't laugh - at least it doesn't have a roof!
i need a new front numberplate - and the last one was a self-adhesive piece of vinyl made by a signwriter - white reflective background and black letters and looked very similar to a real plate.
does anyone know a sign company that can do this?

kind regards

I've made the odd one for MX5s in the past. I seem to recall making them a little smaller than a standard sized plate cos they fitted better. They are not actually legal tho - you do know that?

yes - but i have had one for the past 6 years and not been knocked back for WOF.
i had the front repainted - so would like another stickon front plate.
can you make me one for $$$?

Hmm --silly side question --is it actually a legal requirement for cages to have 2 plates? I run around on trade plates all the time and have no issues

You have to display the plate issued by LTSA, home made, sign writer made etc etc plates are not allowed, you could get a $200 fine.

Actually you still need a WOF. A 'D' plate won't get you off a warrant, however there are forms you can fill out yourself (as a dealer) basically self-checking the vehicle. Even then the vehicle can only be used to go to certain addresses, mostly paint/panel, mechanics, or compliance outfits.
