Hi All,

I've decided to do a vinyl wrap on my old MX5, and have ordered some reflective white to do a stick on front number plate. I obviously only need one plate, but the vinyl only comes by the roll, so I had to buy quite a lot more than I needed!

Given we're out on the water sailing quite a lot, I'm happy to make up a front plate for you with some of the excess vinyl, and post to you, free of charge, in return for a voluntary donation to the RNLI. We've never needed them yet, but they do a fantastic job, often under very difficult circumstances.

I can't promise to get them done too quickly, (it's a weekend thing for when the printer's not being used), but if you pm me what you would like on a number plate (including anything you want in small letters at the bottom too), along with your name/address, I will get a plate printed off and in the post for you free of charge. I'll use the standard UK number plate font (called 'New Charles Wright'), so they're road legal. I can do them with or without a border, and with or without EU stars / GB on the left hand side.

I had a quick look around, and the cost is normally about £8-£10 per plate, so feel free to donate (or not if you don't want to) accordingly.

Basically, it will look like this image from the MX5 owners club;



I also have a load of coloured vinyl that I need to get shifted, orange, blue, green, silver, red, etc. If you want any decals or stickers or anything similar, just let me know. Coloured vinyl can also be printed, but it doesn't come out quite so well unless it's black.

Donations can be made online;

No obligation though.

For the legalities of stick on plates (which I'm sure some kindly soul will bring up eventually), this chap seems to know what he's talking about;
