Number plates
« on: 15 January 2014, 05:08:14 pm »
As a little sideline, i used to make numberplates. Legal or show plates.  Then i had a child and found i didnt have as much time to do it, so i let it slip.
But i still have all the equipment and the blank plates, and a little more time on my hands (not much), so i'm considering starting it up again.
I just need to guauge the level of interest, as i would need to lay down a reasonable amount of ££'s for software licensing.  Fortunately i dont need to pay out on blanks as i have a box ready.
So, would anyone be interested in a lovely shiny plate?  lets say around a tenner for a motorcycle plate as a ball park figure.  Maybe I could do a 'FOC-U plate' with FOC-U.co.uk in the tag line and the yamaha logo ghosted in the background if thats what people want?

This is good feedback, I would need 15 to break even on software cost.  I can do them without the plate software, but the right software literally saves hours!  I'd also include the plastic nuts/bolts.

I'll have one. As a point of interest can you do them with national flags, say Flag of St George with England underneath?

I'd have 2 fella - assuming you could also do one with a Triumph logo ghosted.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

The penalty for supplying non-standard plates looks quite harsh. :eek

They are!  I'm a registered number plate supplier, so can do legal plates.  Anything other than legal are for show purposes only - concourse, shop window, and most definitely NOT for the road

Fizzy - simply not do-able. Maybe you could fashion some dzus fasteners for quick number plate swaps?

GB is legal (assuming its on a legal plate of course), don't think it is but I'd have to check if England would be legal as an alternative.

Probably a tenner.  If anyone want a normal plain legal plate, I can do them now.
