Buying Number Plates From LR Main dealer

Just wondered................

Has anyone had difficulty buying number plates from their main dealer, i.e. loose to fit yourself?

I have just purchased a private plate for my wife we have the correct documentation V778 driving licence, been to the local main dealer and they won't supply loose plates, and they must fit them to the vehicle, which is a bit difficult as it hasn't been assigned.

WTF Censored

Just want the plates to be on hand ready to fit once it's sorted.

Bear in mind, I buy parts regularly at the dealership, both of out LR's are on their system, home address, etc

Lots of suppliers on eBay, just type "number plates" into search box. Design your own plate including badges and logos etc and no need to send off V5 docs (don't ask me why). Last one cost me £8 inc postage. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I can get plates from a local car parts place no problem, cheap, but for some reason I would like more expensive dealer plates Rolling Eyes

Well I designed a replacement after a minor bump with a deer cracked my front plate. I made an exact copy of the original even down to the supplying dealer details and LR logos etc. Whilst you have been on this forum you could probably done the job Very Happy 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Why do you really want to give the dealers FREE advertising? When I got my car they gave me an extra number plate for the rear which was for my trailer but I never used it as it had their name on it. Still came in handy to put on my garage wall. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

When I had a FL1 I ran into a deer and the front of the car needed some repair work which was done by the insurance company. The repair was fine, the problem was that the front plate now had the name and logo of the local Vauxhall dealer which would signal to anyone that the car had been in a front end bash. I had it replaced by one to match the rear LR plate. However it appears that you do have to show the suppliers name and postcode. See below.

I lost a number plate and my dealer made one up for free. I've bought a few cars from them so I think they have my plates in stock Laughing 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

So did I. A BMW dealer. And they cut them down to size as well. Wonder what their cars are like . . . ? Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Why would you bother with a LR dealer? get them from ebay £10.00 next day delivery.

Ripon Land Rover will issue them across the counter (with correct documentation of course)

All Stratstone dealers ............Is company policy that they must supply and fit all number plates to the vehicle, at your cost!!)

Just rang Jaguar Stockton and got a forceful response

I suspect a trip to Ripon LR is on the cards........... over the counter no problem!!

Ridiculous Rolling Eyes

I have plenty of local motor factors about and could use them, or online, but it is not what my wife want's.....obey accordingly Very Happy
