Default White Smiley?

Here in Portugal the rear number plate has to be on a white background...
Does anyone know if a UK manufacturer does a White Smiley for my ex-UK ZT-T ? I can't find one...
Cheers,
Martin in Central Portugal

Mine have similar spacing to yours so I have a set of rectangular legal plates which I blue tack on just for the MOT and then they go back in the shed until the next year.

Why don't you contact Hardridden here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT and see if he can make you up a set. Don't see why not.....

Well,,my plates have come and there smashing I changed the slogan to show the club web address which I thought was more appropriate than some other nonsense!!

Everything as it should be except I am going to have to reshape the sides on the rear plate!!
They have produced them with a 'straight edge' as per Tammyboy's plates above!!!!

and,,,,,,

,,,,,As you all know there is not one straight line on a Rover 75 so this just wont do!! A 'smiley' is a 'smiley' and not a cheesy grin!!

I thought this would be the case so I decided not to have a black border which would have followed the straight sides and looked perculiar after re-shaping.

Just waiting on my paperwork (MOT, Tax Disc) to return so i can mount them!!

I think that only applies to new style registrations, AFAIK older ones don't need this however my private plates don't have the postcode and I've never had a problem even when they've been on newer cars.
