Sticker idea

plumsoul · 07-10-2004, 21:48

How about a Briskoda sticker to cover up the garage name underneath the numberplates? No doubt most of us have a garage name that is now defunct - I have anyway, and would prefer to cover it up with a discreet Briskoda sticker.

Good suggestion... especially for those who have had rubbish service from a dealer and do not want to carry free advertising.

MonkeyHanger · 07-10-2004, 22:01

Just get some new plates made up & buy a proper sticker or 2

KLB · 07-10-2004, 22:03

Er, am I missing something?

Why not just go to Halfrauds (or similar) and buy a new set of plates? They won't have the original garage name.

Or you could try fancyplates

Mavrik · 07-10-2004, 22:14

even if ya go to halfrauds they still put a silly phone number an postcode one em

briskoda would be IDEAL to cover that lot up

plumsoul · 07-10-2004, 22:29

i thought anything bought from briskoda site put a bit of dosh back into the site. seemed like a good idea to me. i don't like 'proper' stickers - they look a bit kevin and tracey to me-only my opinion though of course.

neilwilliams · 07-10-2004, 23:40

I think that as a crime reduction measure (not that it probably works) you have to have the post code of the people who made the plates up displayed on them.

I acquired this one whilst away the other week. Someone cheekily applied it while I wasn't looking (she knows who she is

). I was planning to remove it when I got home, but I've left it on - it seems to add to the character of the car

What do you think about this, obviously that aint my plate

Hope it works

andy_ccr · 08-10-2004, 11:39

Under new law most places won't make up plates without their name and postcode being shown, you'll also need ID and V5 etc !!!
However, if you know the right people hten you can still have it done. Try your local friendly motor accessory shop if they have a vinly departament.
I use a dealer in Colchester that will make up any plates for me without silly postcode info etc.

Nigel26 · 08-10-2004, 12:10

i dont think the plates from fancyplates.com have any details other than the ones you specify on them.

could be wrong though.

that said, a small sticker would be a far cheaper way of erasing the dealer etc from the plate.

gilly · 08-10-2004, 12:59

i got a set of plates made up by fancyplates..... being based over the Irish sea they don't have to comply with our daft number plate rules.

proceed with caution though, cos i got pulled for mine (ok they were a bit too fancy), but the copper took me to town on the finer points of the new plate laws, including font size and style (tut tut

), the BS stamp (or lack of

), the lack of dealer / shop postcode

, and the fact it had a border

.

one defect notice and a producer later i was on me way........

i've still got them though for a few months time, when he'd have forgotten about it!!

So what is the score for these little dealers selling used car that put yellow strips over the original dealers details?

neilwilliams · 08-10-2004, 13:29

I think they get away with it as they will have re-registered the car to you.

That's a good price, for 'non' ligit plates!

I got plates made for the Audi without the postcode but he made sure the receipt said "for off road use only" to cover himself.

Not the clearest picture but gives you an idea - it's the URL of my Audi website.

Ten quid for the pair by the way - from the auto factors shop opposite my work.

The boss has "Eat my Dust" on the bottom of the plates of his Noble M12
