Hi folks,
I need to get a replacement front number plate for my car, and was wondering if anyone knows of discounted options? Or do you pay the same at most places for them?
Cheers in advance

One thing to remember Dan is you now need to take your V5C (reg doc) with you, this is to stop cloning.
They aren't that expensive and I normally go to the local motor factors.0 -
Halfords will do them for you but may need i.d.as well as logbook.You can buy them on the net but these are usually show type plates for fancy cars.Some really cheap ones are exactly that,cheap and nasty and wont last too long.
There are two sides to every story.

Halfrauds want about £20 a plate I think, and want all your documents
https://www.aplates.com This site is fantastic, from £8 per plate inc VAT, they run no checks and the plates are of good quality, I had mine within about 3 days and will definatly use again0 -
Local motor factors, about £7 per plate.Happy chappy0

Halfrauds have their name for a reason. Of course, their higher prices are to cover the excellent training all their staff receive. Hmmm.Happy chappy0

Got my last one from partco unipart and was £6 odd pence.
Most towns have one, just take V5 and id.
As for MSE staff not being able to operate the search function.............................:rolleyes: :rotfl:I have a cunning plan!
Proud to be dealing with my debts.0
