Agreed, it looks a little aquared off at edges and size maybe different, possibly fonts making it look mis-sized tho?

Make it look exactly like original and no one will ever know!

Is it a printed tab of metal strip?

Would have to agree, font etc looks good, but needs body(thickness) and recessed letters like original...

............printed strip of alloy & made to the same size as orginal.. The bloke had a go trying to do it with engraved lettering but was having a really hard time with the alloy for some reason(showed me the rejected ones). This only cost a few quid so can't complain really & i can't get the orginal one. :smiley:
