Number plate fonts...

Post by UWD 672G »

Evening gents - can anyone tell me which plate maker currently does this precise style of 'raised plastic digit' plate please?

I've looked at Framptons but theirs are the same as those I already have on my car with the more 'rounded' looking font on the letter 'G' etc - as nice as they are I'd prefer the more chunky / squared off look of the ones on the car when it's finished, as per 'UYO 750F'... I've looked elsewhere online but can only find firms who do the 'rounded' font. Is the onwer of 'UYO 750F' on here perhaps..?

Cheers, Nidge

Edit - even if someone could point me to where I might be able to buy the individual digits it'd be a great help, I could probably use my existing backing plates if the holes are in the same place ;)

Probably less expensive than Tippers.

Thanks for the link Mark but their 'raised digit' plates have the same rounded font that's on the car at the moment, if you compare them with UYO 750F above (and that lovely S&A Sprint GOY 764D) you'll see what I'm getting at. I know it sounds like I'm being picky but I'm after a particular look for my car. I have used their plates before though and they are good quality, I recently bought a set of 'mirrorline' ones for my Rover P5B (they weren't cheap though with the rear one being a non standard size..!).

Cheers, Nidge ;)

The 60-70's ones look square and you can order them in silver
