Well I got my plates in the post today and they are really high quality acrylic! They came with a protective film which I've not yet removed but they seem perfect. Thick too! For £23 posted I cannot complain.
Will try get them fitted to my clio later and take some pictures but this is all I...
I just got another reply from ProPlates.co.uk who have the smaller 820x85 number plates in stock. The price for these are £10.99 + Postage (£2.50). I have placed an order for both front and rear number plates which comes to £20.98 + postage for the set.
I hold no connection to this website by...
Well when the quality of these plates is seen would there be a way to make this thread more visible so that people would be able make their choice a bit better with an alternative?
@LCJK123 Try ringing up fancyplates and telling them you're a cliosport member, should refund you some money back...
I got this reply too, then by stating it was just for shows he told me that he knew people kept them on the cars anyway and requested to see the V5 before actually going further so I didn't bother. Seemed to be it was 23.95 for one plate too.
Just waiting now for proplates to order their plates...
I believe so yeah. I think they're going to show the plates as stock on their website in the future though as a selection in the builder but in the time being you have to email them.
I have spoken to Proplates.co.uk again and they are going to get plates custom sized to that of 520x85. They preferred this over 520x90/84 as they get requests for 520x85 from other car owners so feel there will be more demand.
They have told me that the plates will be of the higher quality...
Again, Sorry for self bumping but i'm just updating as I get updates! I have spoken to another company now, who may be willing to make up the plates depending on what sort of demand there is. He would have to order in 20 plates for a starting point but he does have over 50,000 feedback on ebay...
Well i've just been talking to someone from "proplates.co.uk" who is going to have a word with his manager tomorrow in regards to pricing for the smaller plates. Am I right in thinking people are wanting them between £10-15 posted? Is this what they used to be with fancyplates?
Yeah exactly, not worth it! Would rather go through fancyplates with cliosport discount. I didn't tell them fancyplates prices no, but they told me that they do get requests for plates from astra owners for the same size and that they cut down the standard size plates for a charge of £7.50 which...
I have been in contact with an ebayer who is able to do the plates for £19 if this is of interest to anyone? I'm still trying to find it cheaper as this isn't much different to fancyplates.
Well i've had a reply from one supplier stating that lots of people do ask about 520x90 sized plates, and that they will start to look into making them and let me know. Still looking for current suppliers now.
I think the problem is more that they use standard plate sizes, and dont tend to have the cut down 520x90mm ones. Is it possible to cut down a standard sized plate without cracking any of the plastic? Have access to band saws.
Well i've been in contact with both lambda sensor supplier and cat supplier. They're sending me out a new lambda sensor to try post cat, so will get that fitted and see if the fault comes back. Next port of call is a new cat under warranty, but will just wait for a reply from the seller. They...
It was a cat from Ebay yeah, but it has a year warranty, or it's meant to anyway. I've contacted the people who sold the sensors and will see what they say. I could try one of my old ones? OE cat was out of my price range to be honest! Didn't want 2nd hand as I'd replaced mine as the flexi was...
Replaced the Cat and lambda sensors on my 1.2 clio but I still have the fault code P0420 Catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1.
When I removed the sensors they were both different, but the ones I bought to replace it were the same however they were stated to be universal. Could this...
