Do Halfords do the square-style motorcycle number plates?

    I've tried ringing them a few times this morning but no reply. Also, do they make them while you wait (i.e. in 10 mins) or do you have to order them beforehand?

    Guy on adverts does them for 12/13e if you aren't in a immediate rush but I guess the "while you wait" means ya need it quick.

    I am pretty sure that Halfords do them.

    Where are you based?

    Got through to Halfords eventually. They do the square ones but apparently their printer is broken and wont be fixed until Monday. They told me to try Overdrive in Douglas Shopping Centre. I went out there and they did metal ones for €20, they weren't very good and technically not road legal but I didn't feel like spending my afternoon going from shop to shop so I just bought it and it'll have to do for the moment.

    I'm very fussy about number plates and I don't know where you're going to get them cheapest but I always get ones like this one only with smaller but legal figures:

    (not my reg by the way)
    I get mine from Martin in Munster Radiator and Number Plate Services around the corner from St Finbarre's Cathedral for about €25 or €30 or something like that.

    Please, please don't get the 'truck sized' square number plate. Very popular with Deauville riders for some unknown reason. The minimum legal size of plate for a bike is half the width and half the height of the truck plate - approx 6 by 4 inches.

    Scrap the cap!

    Munster Radiator - very helpful and the satisfaction of doing business with a local independent retailer.

    On Douglas Street a sign company (Southern Signs?) sell perspex square number plates. Size can be adjusted to your requirements.
    CB Motorcycles, off Douglas St. sell alloy plates with stick on numbers.
