Number Plates – Stay Road Legal
Wigan Car Paints is a registered supplier for number plates and registration plates – with many years of experience in making legal number plates.
We are able to make plates with yellow or white backgrounds with and without UK Flags.
Legal number plates must contain the suppliers name and postcode. They are now only available with “Standard” black digits.
We are able to make standard sized number plates, bike plates, most import sized plates while you wait. Shaped plates (eg X type Jag, Range Rover) are available to order, and are usually available during the following working day.
ID Requirements
We need to see positive ID of the vehicle (this is a document from the DVLA eg V5C) AND the person collecting the number plate – we have to record these details. If you have just purchased a vehicle, the “Green slip” is sufficient proof of ID for the car.
MOT Failure
Having a defective number plate will mean that you could fail your next MOT test. Cracked registration plates, or plates where there has been water ingress will mean a failure.
