which do I choose?

[antz]

Im going to get a pair of new numberplates made up for my car when I get it restored as I still have original ones on it form new (with dealer stickers ) but they are getting a bit weathered and look rough.

 

Thing is.... Do I go for pressed aluminium standard plates like this:

 

or the rivted raised letters like it currently has one (old photo and they look quite clean and nice there )

[Vista]

Which ever is cheaper?

[antz]

cost is irrelevant

[Vista]

cost is irrelevant

 

So are numberplates (IMHO)

nah cos black and silver dont suit mine and modern plates just look gay.

 

so i need to choose which of the two options im left with and which one would look best/original and period

your car, your choice

[countrybumpkin]

as it was originaly fitted with rivited plates i'd go for them, and you dont see many cars with rivited plates now so it would be nice to be a bit different

[Copey]

are the rivited ones steel or ally?

 

if they are steel then go pressed ally, one less thing to rust

[antz]

think they are ali tom.

[Copey]

then get the raised ones

[mk2 escy ron]

pressed

[Yeomans22]

keep them the same as originals

Antz, go for which ever is closest to what was on the car when it was made

[vibrating_Cake]

im not the only one saying this... but a numberplate is a numberplate... spend the money changing the oil/coolant/plugs and have a better car overall =)

[caprinerd]

go with the pressed plate antz

[garyv6100e]

Go for rivited plates Antz , nice number plates are needed when you have done a lot of exterior work IMO otherwise it looks like the job was done on the cheap

[Trevmk3]

go for the ones like you already have mate, i may stick mine back on someday but it currently looks alright with the black and silvers

[antz]

thin ill get the rivited letters. after all thats what it came with and £50 for the pair aint a bad price
