Replacement number plates - recommendation?

Hi UK members ...

I am looking to replace my number plates front and back. I am currently on a lease but highly likely to buy my car in November. I was considering an F30 / F31 earlier this year, but changed my mind now.

The plates on my F10 - rear especially - are in a deteriorating condition.

Can anyone recommend a site to get new plates made? After a reliable co. and quality product. I have googled and found several show plates sites in the UK - but no clue how good they are.

Preference for a recommendation is if you have used the site - thanks.

Cheers ...

The only place I have experience of is Halfords ... OK If you are prepared to wait for 20 minutes.

To be honest, last time I needed any for the fleet, I got them from eBay. £7.99 delivered for a pair! And they were better quality than the dealers had put on in the first place!
