Anyone know where I can get some perspex number plates - mk4 GTI?

I live in North County Dublin. Any idea how much?

I know halfords in Coolock do them anyway. Think it's €19.99 for the pair.
Thanks for the responses.

Has anyone got them in Halfords - do they do them 'while you wait'?
Yeah I got a set there and they done them there & then

The only problem I found with some factors is that they just throw them together and don't centre the digits, which makes the plate look gak

I always use: www.fancyplates.com

They are pretty reasonable for a high quality plate. I usually go for the honeycomb surface with the italic numbers.

Here is my last one.

The honeycomb surface is cool, my old E30 had it on the plates and it looked well.
I think that the Northern Ireland style lettering is pretty cool if you can get it done down here.
fancyplates are very good - I got northern plates from them with the IRL eurostrip and "Fear Manach" above the number (not for me, for a Fermanagh car obviously
) and they were very well made.

I go for the metal plates myself - more of a European feel to them I think.

I thought fancy plates were quite good - the website at least. Wasn't 100% sure of measurements, so held off. They are a little more expensive than what other places seem to charge, but perhaps a case of 'pay for what you get'?
Maybe so. I haven't had experience of any other perspex plate supplier because I only get metal ones for my own car, but for the northern reg I couldn't fault the quality of the fancyplates offering. It was the standard UK font and background, only the IRL eurostrip and county name made it any different from a legal northern set, and they did it spot on. If you didn't know it was dodgy you'd never guess
