Best place online to get number plates made?

I had some personalised plates made by Demon Plates - but they were not very good. After a few weeks the graphic started to come off the back of the plastic, making the number plate look dull and grey. I complained and they sent a new set, but the same has happened.

Can anyone recommend a good place? I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, but ones that will actually last.

    I don't know, but Demon Plates are a DVLA approved supplier, so I would be surprised.

    I used this guy here last year and he is still trading after 32 years. Good quality and fast delivery.

    I've bought eight or nine individual plates or sets off these guys. They're excellent.

    They're DVLA registered, not approved. DVLA don't do approval.

    I really don't care. Either way, I don't know if they were on "Fake Britain".

    If they post them without checking their details then i doubt the DVLA are aware, my mate thought he would do it properly and register with the DVLA.

    A very short time after creating an ebay advert they contacted him to say stop or else...

    I too can vouch for Mr NENPP on eBay after several purchases.
    The man without a signature.

    Not questioning the quality, but I thought that the seller had to see certain documentation before providing the plates. There's no mention of that on the listing I read. So is it fully legal to buy from this chap?
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.
