* Found these as a bit of clicking about - anybody tried them?

http://www.craigsplates.ie/irish-number ... /plate.php

**UPDATE**
Their pricing seems wrong, wont permit checkout after constructing sticker plates.. I emailed them, but does anybody know of an alternative supplier?

Rear plate is no problem, although you may need to bring in a tax disc or some other proof of registration.
MyFeckin might be able to help you with a sticker for the front, I seem to remember he had on on an MX5...

Wow - good memory - and I now have one for the Zed (for my new front bumper).
Bought the Zed plate a few weeks back from craigs plates as it happens - I tried using their website but ended up ringing the NI number.
Good quality plates if a little expensive - make sure you stress the "IRL" logo on white plates - there seemed to be a little confusion there.

I used http://www.numberplates.ie before and found them very good. I asked for FTO-Ireland to be put on it, and I like the really fact that they went to the effort of getting the proper FTO logo. Good quality too.

Is that road legal?

Im fairly sure the sticky plates aren't legal - but I'm wanting to make it as close to legal as possible so in case I do forget to put on my proper plate or say it falls off in the drive or something the local Garda wont have too big of an issue with it.

There's a whole page of writing on it on one of the license plate sites but it seems to just refer to sizing and font of the actual registration number..

Theres legal requirements for the size of the text and the distance apart between each letter and the size of the dash and all that crap too. Its all on the NCT instruction manual for the testers, havent got a link to it here but I found it before online somewhere. But youd prob get away with having the sticker if you say its a temp one.

Well you often see garages have their name on the plate so I don't see why not.
I got a 3/4 size plate, bar the size it's standard (fonts, euro logo ect.) and I haven't had any hassle yet.
