You can get the exact same 3 disc holders in Desmonds for less than €2 IIRC. I have picked them up a few times. Think it was close to €8 last time I was in Halfords! Only relevant to Cork but heh..

OP I doubt you will find (m)any companies doing custom disc holders for Ireland. Each country seems to use different standards when it comes to the display of discs!

Might be worth asking the likes of autoglass where they get them made if you were that bothered.

giving them away F.O.C in FirstStop atm

Can't find any on eBay. I would settle for a plain black one but would like one with a Skoda and vrs badge/logo on it.

Can't stand the white ones or the usual windscreen crowed ones..


I'm fussy lol

Mint Sauce

What about a clear looking/see through one, with no markings. Anyone seen or heard of such a one.

sean1141

Don't think I'd like one myself but you could laminate them and stick them up with clear tape?

Plenty on ebay. Halfords has some.

There you go

I have one, came with the car so no idea where it was got.

Best ones ive used which i have on both mine and my wifes car are the 3 disc magnetic holders.
Bit of a pain to get right first time but work so easy and neat to change discs.

Get the silver/grey backed ones though as they are less noticeable in the window from the drivers seat.

Anyone find one in a shop or on e-bay that will hold an insurance disc without having to fold over the edges?

Any linkes to these??

Used to get one from Quinn Direct each year I renewed my Insurance. NCT one fell apart a few weeks back, picked up one from the NCT Centre when getting the car tested last week, my God are they hideous. They have "Don't drink or Drive" in big letters on them, one has a garish picture of a seatbelt and another has two cartoon eyes on the back of it. I just need one for the NCT disc but unfortunately the NCT ones only came as a triple so gonna have to cut off the NCT one for now.

There are counterfeit versions of this on sale on Boards.ie's sister site, Adverts.ie. Despite being informed of the creator's copyright of this design Adverts.ie are choosing to ignore it and have even promoted the counterfeit product on their Twitter feed and Facebook page.

Really disappointing behaviour from the Distilled Media Ltd/Adverts.ie/Boards.ie group.

I get the standard black ones from the local Maxol garage. Most of the bigger petrol stations carry them. Only about 2 quid.
