    It looks deceptively easy but can be very time consuming. Consequently charge about £150 + VAT or it’s not worth doing.

    this has the numbers on that you havnt got, but we charge £120 + vat, inc fitting for these, as they are a good customer.

    But a one off, should obviously be higher

    I’ll go with Phil, looks easier than most, but the job is worth £150ish
    but go higher rather than lower if you can.

    Phils on the money

    del id take the plate off and run under, looks like you might have a little cut and shut to do there – use a cast vinyl for the curves amd maybe make a template first

    As u you see from the photo the number plate recess would be practically imposible to do in one piece, even in cast material. There is also a light in the side wall of the recess which doesnt help. If you definately have to go into all the nooks and crannies a pre-mask template then cut the inserts. Dont think the number plate is you biggest issue, the compound curves and extreme angles are.[/img]
