Altered Pressed Plates!

[Georrge]

Hi everyone,

Iv'e had my number plate like this for over 2 years now, and although it isn't strictly legal, I've never been pulled over for it, and even when I have been pulled over (for ignoring a no U-turn sign ) they didn't comment on the plate. I got it from craigsplates; the spacing has been removed, and the 5 has been slightly altered, rounding the corners off to make it look more like the letter S rather than the number 5.

This is what it looks like:


I am going to order new plates because some idiot reversed into me with a tow-bar while I was parked and has marked the plate with a nice black bruise. It's annoying.
I really like the look of the pressed plates, however I don't want to sacrifice loosing the rounded off 5. Does anyone know of anywhere that will do a pressed plate with this custom 5?

I don't hold much hope for this, but thought it was worth asking.

Thanks a lot!

Forgive me if I have missed something in the plate, but why the need for the no spacing or the 5 looking like an S, it doesn't seem to spell a word?

So you want to make a legal plate illegal?

Just amended your spelling mistake

Ive got it. If you shut your good eye squint with the other from 6 miles away that plate does look like "georrge"
  Now that's worth getting an illegal plate for .................................

I know Craigs Plates used to do such things. Have you tried them?

The number plate is not meant to say George, and this post wasn't asking you to guess what the plate stands for either

My name is George S Kershaw
G for George
S for my middle name
KSW is the first, middle and last letter of my surname.

That's where I originally got this from, so I know that they do the altered text, but I'm not sure if they do the altered text AND press it. I have emailed them asking though :)

law abiding person & correctly spaced apart

Just amended your spelling mistake 

Law abiding? They hit my car and drove off, I'm pretty sure that is a form of hit and run 
Secondly, the specific spacing is important, I never said I will drive my car like this

[screech]

Dont just assume they 'hit and run', They may have taken the details and forwarded it to the police and their insurance. But because they couldn't read it they probably wrote it down wrong, so now noone can contact you about it. Bad lucks!

If your car was to get stolen, who would you complain to when you find out the police can't find it on any of their ANPR cameras?

Why are you purposely trying to start up an argument over the internet? I posted asking for advice, yet your post is of no help at all and you're just looking for an argument; grow up lmao. If someone can't read that number plate then they really shouldn't be driving. Secondly, if car park cameras can read the number plate, I'm sure police ANPR cameras can too..

[screech]

Sorry? I'm not trying to start an argument at all, I'm just saying how it could be. Standing up for someone who isn't present to defend themself, when actually they may not have 'hit and run'.

Nobody should need to be able to read it, and it's you that shouldn't be driving (that car with those plates)

Thinking about it, would it not make more sense to keep the space as it should be? (Or even an extra space if you do insist on having it illegal) Do you write your name on paper without spaces?

I used to buy my plates from 'showplates'(.com or co.uk) not sure if they are still going, worth a look maybe?

The problem you have is you have posted a question on where to get an illegal plate on a forum where most disagree with people doing this.

Just make your plate legal and you won't have any issues.

That is more logical you are right, but I prefer the look of it being all one thing, personal taste I guess. I checked out shotplates but it redirected me to newreg, thanks anyway!

I fully understand that, but making my plate perfectly legal won't suit my needs
