Oooo, I feel the numberplate issue coming on here.
Basically for a 100% legal plate, they need to see your V5, I personally don't want to send this through the post, so to do it legit I would go to a motor factors.
However you can buy "legal" plates on ebay, that have the correct markings etc on them, but are technically incorrect as they have not seen your V5 (and may be bogus maker markings)
However, I have these ebay plates on my van and trailer, and cannot distinguish between these and 100% legit plates.

Even if the plate(s) have legal font/spacing, and include suppliers name and postcode, if they are supplied through the post without sight of the V5, they can only be offered as "show plates".
The eBay listing says:
"All plates unless specifically requested (documentation required) are sold as "show use" and/or "off road use"".
They'll be fine though.
Personally, I'd dig the V5 out and go to Halfords.
If your local one is good they can advise/help with drilling and screw mounting, or sticking on - if the panel is flat. If it's curved, the sticky pads can struggle.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

I cant find it, but IIRC you need some proof of ID too, the V5 is to prove its for a vehicle, the ID to prove it you...

Our local garage that does our car servicing did one for us and it only cost a few pounds, but they still needed tosee all the right paperwork. Anyone who sells cars should be set up to do it so don't make a special trip to Halfords if they are a long way away.

I recently got one from my local parts shop. It is my OH's car so I needed to take his V5 and some ID for me. It cost £10 and was done in 10 minutes.

believe the plate must also contain the makers name by law.
