your number (plates) up sunshine!
The hopeless task of buying number plates from the usually brilliant Halfords exhausted me to the point of no return.
Unless you have both living great-grandparents in attendance, your front door with number still attached and every petrol receipt since 1943 you're in for a very long wait for them to stick a few numbers on a bit of plastic for you!
So 5 minutes on the internet, via the handy www.fancyplates.com not only saved me a 30 mile round trip and 2 hours with a screwdriver on the front door, but saved me £20 in cost too! They'll print anything you want on any style of plate at all, obviously whether you choose to display anything naughty on your car is between you and the Old Bill but hey!
Our car, being as it is a 1963 registered model is perfectly within its rights to show black/silver plates, and they do look great!
Anyway - here's mine still with the plastic protection on, as they will do 'til the grand day when I fit them signalling the end of the restoration!
