Metal Pressed Plates

Post by chrisba »

Any ideas where the best place to buy some of these? I got my last ones from Europl8 on ebay and they were spot on but they've gone now!

Not too bothered about them being road legal but dont want any crazy fonts.

Dubmeister do legal pressed plates. Located in somerset, or you can get them online.

Just google "dubmeister"

Ebay properly best for non legal ones.

As mentioned above Dubmeister sell road legal pressed plates at £15.00 each.

You can also get them at most Dub/Vag shows such as Edition 38 but when buying plates you will need to show them the cars V5 registration document and the paper copy of your drivers license.

That applies for Dubmeister too

As I understand, you have to post your docs to dubmiester to do it only. Being up in Angus, no way am I driving all the way down to Somerset, even if it is the best place in the world for Cider :D

They need to see your docs but you can send them in the post, which aggain doesn't sound very appealing. You may be able to send them a photocopy of them, but it may have to be witnessed somewhere else first.

How would I get a witness they'd accept then?
Really do want stamped plates, just dont fancy sending my docs over.

Yeah i can understand why, not the things you want to lose! I live 45 mins away so drove there.

I guess you can just give them a ring and see what they say bud. Think the numbers 01278 453036.

I sent mine in the post no problems, just send them recorded and put some insurance on them.
I live in North Wales so the 5 or 6 hour drive to Somerset didnt appeal to me either.

Dubmeister send your docs back to you with the plates through a recorded courier service in a mail pack so there really is nothing to worry about.

There is always a slight risk they could get lost, but that risk is massively reduced when sending stuff recorded.
You can track the parcel stage by stage through the royal mails website.
