Default Number plates.
Just received my new std GB plates ready for the Ring trip from http://www.fancyplates.com as recommended by SilverSurfer.

Really pleased with the service, speed of delivery and price. Nice touch is options to fix as sticky pads or new screw covers (white,yellow and black) are provided.

Just need to decide if to stick or screw? Weight saving a possible consideration?

So why did you need new plates?

To have GB put on them?

I would stick them personally. Much cleaner than using bolts

Plate looks cleaner with sticky. Some bolts can rust/suffer after time and don't look so good.

I'm right in thinking its only the rear number plate that needs GB on it?

You should have the EU logo on both but the Gb on the back means no gb sticker
