Number plates

Time has come to get some fresh plates. At £40 a set, i dont want to get them from ford. Where shall i get them from and what have people had on theirs? i know some places stock the tickford logo? Has anyone got some pictures on theirs?

I had a look at a link people have used before, I think Glyn has used it before but the website doesnt seem to work. Can anyone help?

im sure i saw a post not so long ago sayinf that place dont do them anymore, thing is im after the tickford plate too as bougth a new reg for car.

Have a look here at the original thread.

Not sure they are still doing it as there was some copyright issue
The logo I sent them is here if you can find someone else to put in on.

Use Ebay etc and look up "show plate" when you click to buy you confirm you wont be using the plate on the road.....

Why not drum some interest up and get a few sets made up from somewhere else with the tickford badge on.

Im sure planty of people would be interested.

I definately would be.

I got a set made up by No 1 show plates, which is the same company i believe Graham got his from. However they are made from a cheaper material than standard plates i have on my other cars.

So if we could get a group order and the plates can be made with the tickford logo and be made using normal number plate material. I would like a set.

Is it just a case of a logo at the bottom or is there some font also?

if its just a case of a logo it shouldnt be too difficult.

So what would people be looking for? a plain plate with just the tickford logo on the bottom? no border in normal size?

If so, i can get them made up. im pretty despirate now as my MOT is coming up and my plates are awfull.

Get your name and plate down and ill get back to you asap with a posted price.

1.) Chris - N9 FRP
2.)

Mike . S222shh. Depending on price and funds

The original
Font isn't legal any more. It was quite a skinny font. If I remember, I will take a photo .of my original plates which are in the shed. The font Glyn and I got was pretty close but I think looked better.
It will be the size and position of the Tickford logo that will give you problems.
Wugsy Plate.

K9 Plate

I think your best bet will be doing what I did originally.
Contact one of the many sellers on Ebay of "Show Plates" and explaining what you want with the Tickford logo middle bottom.
I just had a quick look and there are loads doing them for around £20 a pair.
Send them a picture of my K9 plate
So they can see the size of the logo in relation to the plate.
See what they say.....

Roughly the logo is as wide as a standard plate letter.

I will put my name down for 3 sets.

M777 LND my private reg
X769 VOO original reg if i put back on
FRP 478 as a show plate!

Any further info on this? Im after a set.

Right, i have just emailed a show plates company based in the North West with a few details and the K9 plate as an example.

I will wait for a reply and let you all know.

I have also spoken to a place and paid for some plates. Will take pics when they arrive.


Hope they turn out ok!

Hey guys,
right I have now recived the plates. On first inspection they look pretty good, but I'm not sure if the spacing of the Tickford logo is right. I may ask them to redo as I think its a tad too high.

Let me know. I would recommend these guys as their service was pleasent and quick. If interested I can let you know who I used.

Always bugged me - what's the significance of "RNO" at the end of a lot of the registrations? I've seen a load of FRP with this as well as a few older Fiestas

I'm still waiting on a reply with a sample of the plates.

The tickford badge looks a touch high in the pictures smudge.

RNO is ex Ford lease managment cars, Many FRP's were registered this way because they were poor sellers.
