Top Part on the Tuam Road did some for me there a couple of months back. I think they were €12.50 each.

Yup, the lads in the autoparts shop on the Tuam Road (the front of the Liosban industrial estate, couple of doors up from the Ulster Bank and the chippy).

Do them while you wait, only takes 5 mins, €12.50 each.

Course, then you have to go to a garage and get the new plates bolted on properly. Ballybrit Tyre and Exhaust Centre (on the Old Monivea Road) will sometimes do that for you for free if you ask them nicely...

Bolted on 'properly'?

Any time i've seen plates theyre screwed into the plastic bumper with self tappers (just drill holes in plates)

Ach ye know what I mean. The autoparts shops usually give ye a couple of sticky patches to hold them on for a day or two. Ye still need to go to a garage and get them bolted on (or do it yerself if ye have the tools).

But if ye feel like starting an argument on the precise definition of bolts, screws, variations thereof, the materials they are screwed into, the colour of the drill and the phase of the moon, go right ahead :rolleyes:

Any one know if there are any online references to regulations for number plates? Am a bit fond of the "Empire State" New York City ones (if you've been to NYC you'll know them) and would like to get them done for my new car
