Number Plate Supplier
My 480 still has the original dealer numberplates on with the Bells Volvo logos etc., and I'd like to keep them.
However the front has taken a hit and needs replacing (below).
Ive seen the plates remade for Jay-Kay-Ems 480 turbo project, which are the pre-2001 style with the older font and the dealer logo reproduced (as below).
Would anyone know where I can get these remade, as I do like the original look?
I've tried a few places, but they will only do standard modern plates.
Thanks.
PS: I've tried the websites on the card shown in the picture but they don't exist anymore.

Try this website https://www.dmb.uk.com/cat/163/dealer-stickers
They have lots of old dealer stickers and they used to show lots of old dealer stickers for their plates, I remember looking for an old golf before, might be with a try?

Re: Number Plate Supplier
Platesforcars.co.uk have just sent me some with the old UK legal font. Second time I've used them and I'm very happy with the quality and speed.

Thanks James.
Didn't see the option to select old legal font. I'll see if they can add my dealer logo as well.

Re: Number Plate Supplier
It is "UK Old Legal". I found it quite difficult to get the old font before I was told about these guys.
Try "www.volvo-480-europe.org" in light blue and legal Nordic font for the little subtitle bit at the bottom if you want to be as cool as me!

Thanks to 89of490's recommendation, I contacted Dave and Kate at DMB, and they couldn't have been more helpful.89of480 wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 8:07 amTry this website https://www.dmb.uk.com/cat/163/dealer-stickers

I ordered a new set of plates with pre-2001 font, and they also copied the Bells Motor Group logos. Delivered cost of £29 for a set is more than fair.
