The Hardridden smiley I had made for the old ZT lasted about 18 months before blistering and generally looking unsightly.

I've been tonight to bleed the clutch on a local members car, and his Hardridden plate is delaminating badly.

The seller I linked to is prepared to supply mail order, provided scans of the necessary documentation is emailed to them.

I lost the plate on the rear of the duotone while on holiday last year, and not having the V5 with me couldn't get a plate made easily.

However Andrew Page supplied me with what was described as a "temporary" number plate.

Guess what, it was exactly the same in construction and material as the rubbish one I'd bought from Ken.

When speaking to Paul at Alidrew Engineering, a figure of circa £40 for both front and rear plates, made to comply with BS AU 145d and they have the MG Rover logo on file, which was duplicated at my request from an original MG Press garage car plate

Thanks for the link Bri, its certainly good to know Alidrew Number Plates are making the rear smiley clear acrylic plate for our motors.

We should have a 'sticky' which shows number plate suppliers that can supply the rear smiley plate.
