Victoria Park Car Sales 1 Posted February 3, 2019 Hi Where can I purchase number plate overstickers to place the name of my business on the number plate instead of the original dealer. i don’t want to have to spend money on a new set of plates each time And how much is it likely to be thanks David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EPV 631 Posted February 3, 2019 £15 for a set of plates? How shit is it going to look with a one size fits no one sticker planted on a number plate? Pony up the £15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOACROSS 414 Posted February 3, 2019 A local printing company will make you some up and won’t be much. I have some for any cheaper junk I agree with EPV though, especially on some of those heavier bits of stock you have, it’ll look crap. Just get some plates made up that’ll advertise your business -20 quid for a nice lipped set. You could just put them on cars you sell locally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's me 615 Posted February 3, 2019 new plates always bonny up a motor anyway put the old ones in the boot and customers think they are getting a bonus too plus less rubbish in your trash bin i asked a seller on ebay if he could supply me some plates without giving him log book details as i am a registered supplier logged at dvla and he refused so im back to the local factor never liked my name on plates or window stickers or key fobs,customers only use them when they have a problem even years later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice, professional, lipped plates do wonders to a car sometimes, and at the least, it helps build your brand’s profile. I too like rear window stickers but can understand why others don’t. My favourite was printed tax disc holders - still have some in a drawer at work that I can’t bring myself to throw away What grief can you get years after the event? If anything, it’s a selling opportunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's close on £7000 a year for us....sole reason we don't change plates unless really faded/stained. A nice bright window sticker at 50p each is as far as we go. It's nice spotting a few you've sold when you're out and about...until you see them pull into Halfrauds that is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 164 Posted February 3, 2019 I change all my number plates is looks neat and professional along with a window sticker. Always looks good when you see one of your cars driving round with your name on. Number stickers degrade and peel off after a while don't bother. *It Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t change plates personally mate, i’m just saying i’d rather do £15 per unit than £5 per unit and a crap look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Row 71 Posted February 3, 2019 I used to sell those number plate stickers along with printed rear window stickers and tax disc holders 20 years ago, didn't think anyone would still use those printed number plate stickers, I didn't think they looked good then never mind now.

I can totally agree with that. There's a fair few 03-06 plate things locally running around with faded, barely stuck on, stickers from one former local dealer. In fairness to them the cars are still going long after the stickers have given up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victoria Park Car Sales 1 Posted February 3, 2019 Thank you so much for your advice. I am just starting out as a car trader and learning as I go. I will go down the route of replacing with new number plates. They do make a difference to the appearance of a car. The number plates which are on my 57 to 59 plate cars are marked and water ingress etc thanks again everyone David 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
