Hi,

Does anybody know where I can get black number plates with silver lettering made? I am based in Waterford, it for the front of my 1980 Mini, my old one had to be taken off when respraying and got broke

Hmmmm most plates now are generated using computers on a sticker type effort that you roll onto perspex....havent seen the old type tin plates around for a long time....

You can definately get the same shaped plate in perspex and get the numbers printed in silver onto a black sticker??. Though most shops use computer printing instead of the old "press" that used to put the numbers on plates..

There's a company called Utsch in Tralee where I got my pressed steel plates. Digits are Silver on black plate.

Possibly a silly question, but have you actually asked in your local motor factors?

Have just had some of these made up for myself, pressed metal black & silver.

My local motor factors sorted me out with no problem

The motor factors in Douglas Village shopping centre do silver and black plates while you wait.
