Do you mean normal plastic ones or vintage pressed metal ones?

You can get US / German style ones here - http://www.retrowagen.com/plates.html

(Not used them myself though)

Sorry should have stated that i'm after the vintage B/W pressed ones.

Used a bloody good one last time but can't remember for the life of me who they were !

excellent for US plates and UK vintage plates, I always use them.

Plates will arrive in less than a week, quicker if you pay a bit more.

Hi Scott,

I took the paperwork to the smaller preston office and they didn't even mention anything about having to inspect.

Thanks again for the advise.

I chose the rivetted for my last bus and not sure if to go for them again or the pressed this time.

The good thing about them is that they don't dull.

I had pressed plates on the van and they are crap quality they dull very fast and bend easily.

I have the riveted on my bug and they are much better quality, heavier solid and more classic/vintage looking.
