To be honest Pab no i didnt I just went else where and bought another plate
I had a problem when i ordered some plates for my van ..When they arrived
they had my cars reg on them at first i thought it was my mistake but when
i went back through the order details it turns out my order was correct
but the seller insisted he sent the plates with the reg i ordered .
I could not be bothered to argue so like i said i went else where

ive had no probs- since

I've received my plates from Ken this week, with the longbridge postcode.
They do look great, but, they do seem to be a solid black plastic with evrything stuck on the fron, so as you say nick nick, may not last so long, only time wil tell.

I was thinking of clear varnishing the edges, to try and seal them a bit, maybe clear nail varnish? Don't tell the missus!

Had my plates on from him for pretty much a year now, still look as good as the day I bought them, and went throught the MOT no probs.

Varnish is no good it will only become brittle and break up ....Try some weather
proof tape

I don't blame you for choosing these,I put mine on and I thought ''Superb'' with a smile on my face.

Thanks for the recommendation

Since I bought my car I've been unhappy with my rear plate, it's a normal rectangular one stuck to a smiley one, yes it looks as dodgy as it sounds.

After fitting new LED number plate bulbs (£1.45 delivered from China for a pair!) the extra light showed the plate up, and also a few rust spots on the boot lid itself along the top edge of the plate.
I ordered a new plate which arrived a couple of days ago.
I've just been out and removed my old plate, sorted the rust out and fitted the new one.

It looks cracking now

Old one.


New one.
