Loads of places do them and you can normally get them made up at a show too.

www.classicplates.co.uk they will do the old pressed silver and black metal ones in square or stanadard shape, onlt suitable for pre 73' cars I think, any newer and you will need to put normal ones on for MOT etc.

Further to this, just asked him about Serck plates out of curiousity. As far as he knows the dies were destroyed and there's not enough custom to justify new ones being made up. However, he offered this sort in pressed with a more square-ish font seemingly not shown on the website:  Not quite Serck, but pretty cool I thought! So I've just ordered me a set for the Galant to replace the pretty rubbish plastic ones. £39.95 a set (inc VAT and postage), but £1 a plate extra for me because I wanted a message on them ("The Colt Car Company Ltd", very sad!). Have heard nothing but good things about the company so I'll let you know how it turns out. |

As far as he knows the dies were destroyed and there's not enough custom to justify new ones being made up. Has he even been on this forum?  ? Makes me laugh these places charging like £40-£50 for a set of plates. You can still hunt out plate places which will do the proper thing for £15 a pair or less. Also has anyone noticed the font on a lot of the new black & silver pressed plates it too "rounded"? |

Crumbs, £40 for a set of plates is heavy, seems it to me anyway.
