the_mandarin Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 My car needs a new number plate. I am looking for suggestions of any place that replaces car number plates at a good price. Also, does anyone have an idea of how much these normally cost? An online search gives an unusually wide range of prices without actually explaining why the more expensive options are better, and they also give the option of "adhesive pads to fix the plates" or "drilling the plates". Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Plates are usually drilled, the adhesive pads can come unstuck, then your plate can fall off. Lots of places online will make the plates, for you to install yourself obviously. I think Halfords still make plates, and offer an install service for a small fee. You'll need ID and your V5 to get them made up. Edited January 29, 2022 by geared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a look online, it's £16.25 now with an extra £5 for fitting, if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRESLEY Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The Halfords offer gets my vote it looks very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiat500 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I had my number plates ripped off my car outside my daughters house, they were stuck on, only took a few seconds for him to rip them off. I was advised by police to have them screwed on. Went to Halfords got new ones but they just stuck them on. I didn't want same thing to happen again so talked to my local garage and they screwed them on free for me. When I got a new car insisted they screwed number plates on.

They've been there as long as I remember, which is 60+ years. IIRC, that was their original location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
