Just going to give you an update as to where i am with this (and show that i havent forgotton)... 
I've been fighting to get the software to work on my Windows7 machine  (i have it on an old XP machine, but that machine is old and very slow), eventually, i had to get the software working on win7 using an XP virtual machine!  So i called up to license the software, mentioned in passing that it was a struggle on win7, and they told me there was a newer version that was win7 compatible...  So i'd much rather use that than rely on a VM.
CD should be arriving today or tomorrow, once installed (my machine doesnt have a cd drive so i'll have to copy it to usb then install), i can call them up to get the license, and we're good to go.  I've paid the £££'s for the license.
Full size plates, had a stock check and i need to order some of those.  I'll get them with the GB pre-printed on the plate if i can as they seem to finish better.
:)

I would be up for a road legal plate but with FOC-U or similar somewhere on the plate

Can you post here mate what you can do then?

some samples?

with the standard font can you do 3D text, carbon style text?

can you do the honey comb?

how would the ghosted yam badge look?

could you design it on the software then send as an image first?

thanks

Hey fizzy... yes to all that.  Page 1 you can see my plate with the ghosted Yamaha.  Also 'inline' font, which looks quite nice - its a vehicle font (and legal for car) with a line in the centre of the font.

Would you be able to do something like this mate?




But instead of the transformers logo, would you be able to do the Kawasaki logo, the big "K"?

Yeah should be able to do something like that, I'll need some design time.

Putting in an order for blank plates hopefully today, but just dealing with a rear puncture :-/

Like that.  Bear in mind that the euro stars, GB and K would be yellow.  (low quality jpeg, actual print would be much sharper)

Are the plates with the Yamaha sign in the background legal, are the cops going to bother me with it lake that?  Also, do I have to have the Euro stars, happy to have GB, but can I have cross of St George or even nothing at all......blooming hate Europe LOL

Mine has just arrived, for £10 I dont know how hes making money on it.

I'm really happy with it, thanks mate

No overheads and I'm not greedy.  I just need to make back the cost of the software and the actual plates themselves and the p+p.  If I can stick a small bit of change into my pocket afterwards then that's great :)
