Where do I get UK style plates?

I am in the process of putting my newly imported car on Irish plates. And I quite like how the current UK plates look like. Well obviously not the actual UK plate look, but I mean the make up of them and how they're fixed to the car.

A somewhat milky looking white plate with no black border. Made of fairly think - about 3mm I'd say - acryl or vinyl or something like that.
The front plate is sitting on a rubbery holder of the exact same size which is just that, a holder/base with again no actual border or surrounds.
The rear one is actually sitting right on the metal. Wouldn't be mad on that. I'd like that to sit on a base/holder like the front one, but again ideally with no border or surrounds.

First world problems I guess, but can I get that kind of plate only with a legal Irish plate design on it? And a surround for the rear which isn't an actual surround but just a base for the plate? Or at least a surround for the rear that is neutral, no logo or other text on it?

I had pressed metal plates made for my last car and stuck them directly to the vehicle with some heavy-duty tape (specifically designed for reg plates and so on). Cost about a fiver, no surrounds, no free dealer advertising, no messing with screws. It worked with the pressed metal so it'll definitely work with acrylic plates. Looked really well - must get around to getting some made for the new car now.

Just make sure the plates and font are the right size - UK or German typeface is fine once the 0 doesn't have the gaps - and that the EU logo, county name as Gaelige etc. are all present and you're golden.

Ah yes I want perfectly legal ones. Just want them to be acrylic, no border, no surrounds. And good quality. Any tips who does them like that?

Got mine from eireplates, they seem to have a good few different types. About €40 all in and had them in 2 days. They only seem to do the acrylic in the bog standard font though.
