Default Number Plates

Good afternoon,
Where can I buy number plates for my Rover, the large "shaped" ones for the rear? I can't think of how describe them but I'm sure you'll understand.
Thanks for your help.
Regards David

Demon Plates all the way. The ones from Hardridden tend to ripple & separate in my experience.

I’ve used Demon Plates for some time, very good service plus the BS standard number and their name is unobtrusive. I hate advertising other companies on my plates.
BTW I didn’t use the 75 smiley plate on my latest 75 as they are a bit on the tight side when fitting in the boot lid, instead I used the S Type Jaguar shaped plate. It looks every bit as nice.

Forget anyone else David, the only people you need to speak to about smiley numberplates in our region are Alidrew Engineering in Newcastle

LINK

They have the correct details if you want an MG Rover Group logo on the bottom, and are fully DVLA registered, so a V5 and photo ID are essential.

The plates they make are superb, not to be confused with the gash from Hardridden
