    The embossed aluminium plates made at Ashgrove cannot fall apart they are made to an EU standard. Its only those illegal custom plates that tend to fall apart.

    Eh, you can have pressed metal registration plates made entirely to the Revenue standards - the only ones that matter here - that fall to bits after a few weeks. Wheter they match the spacing/sizing/naming rules or not doesn't matter a ****e.

    Hey Cyrus, did you opt for a "choose your own number" reg number? I know it's a limited choice but I thought you might go for a 3333 or something like that.

    nope, in the end i didnt bother, what with 9k vrt and 1490 tax i reckon 315 on a number is a waste esp when it could get me facelift rear lights or an oem strut brace :)

    I always buy my plates from Windsor Motors (any branch). They sell the proper embossed metal plates. Failing that, I believe Europlates (01-8251804) sell them also.

    I did, but I got plastic plates. It took them a few goes to get them right, they're not exactly craftsmen over in Ashgrove.

    Eh the ones you are talking about (German style perhaps!) are not the type that fall apart.

    The ones that DO fall apart can be found being churned out of many Irish dealers!! Ford are guilty as charged from what I see on the roads.

    Cyrus, many places do them, if you still haven't got them yet, PM me.
