I have used Framptons on a number of my old cars.

Probably not the cheapest but definitely the best quality.

Those plates from the plateman look illegal becuase the font doens't look correct.

On my last e30 i bought a set of street legal pressed plates from Framptons - i'de recommend them too. Very good quality number plates.

alright lads.

in the end i looked on good old ebay. i ordered some from a guy called plate_mate1.
i payed for them over the phone at about 1 in the afternoon and they were with me the next day. the plates themselves are exactly what i pictured and great quality.

if your after them quickly them i highly recommend him.
