+2 S 130/5 license plate lettering

PostPost by: flav972 » Wed Dec 07, 2016 9:33 am

I have recently bought a LHD +2S 130/5.

According to french law, a new license plate has to be fitted.
However, I would like to fit letters from the license plate to the +2 front grille for a correct 'english aspect'. I posted a picture of it. These cannot be supplied in France.

Does anyone know which UK manufacturer can provide them ?

hi flav972,
you can get letters for the grill in France from "belles anciennes" in alloy with little pins at the back to fit to grill with supplied clips no problem. I have fitted these to 2 Lotus Elans no problem and the letters are the correct font for France where i live.
