Hi guys - thanks for supplying info on the fonts - those examples both look better. I think they have used Arial and then fiddled with the font size to get the title case look. If the proper font is used, MG Rover Group (i.e. title case) will translate into the correct sized lettering and the letters 'over' and 'roup' will be slightly smaller capitals.
The supplier won't put a postcode or BS number on them which is fair enough so in that respect they will be show plates. However with the correct UK79 lettering I don't envisage any issues with the MOT.
Old plates in the boot won't work though - they will have a different registration because I am buying these plates because I am transferring a private plate
I will get back to Gill and suggest that she uses the fonts provided above.
