putting bodywork colour on surround of numberplate.

[johnthehappyguy]

Hi,
I thought this idea may be of general interest and have not seen it done elsewhere.

I am getting new number plates made up for my "Yellow Broom" coloured Mark 1 punto, which I have read elsewhere on the forum is colour IIRC 258, ( unfortunately I don't know what that refers to. )

I know that matching due to fading can be a problem, but my car has been kept in a dark garage almost every minute of it's life. ( only done 5k miles )

On the front numberplate I would like to have a big, wide matching border made into the plate. i.e. a Broom Yellow border on the white plate.

I plan to use "cheapestplates" on ebay, but am willing to be guided elsewhere.

How can I communicate the colour that the border should be to the person making up the plates.

thanks very much,
John

Sounds like a cool idea, let us know how you get on!

Match the colour up to a Pantone colour or a BS, and they should be able to match it as close as possible to a vinyl (a Mactac 7 year vinyl is vvv. close to Broom) or even better, print it.

I have a Pantone chart at work, but my car is Imola yellow, sold the broom Coupé...
