    Cheers Peter

    It’s pretty close but not quite right i dont think, the german numbers have funny looking O’s, Q’s & R’s etc.

    From what i have seen the O’s are egg shaped. Some of the letters are different so they cant be changed to look like another letter! (Dont know why anybody would want to do that? 😉 )

    Cheers for your help though

    Yeah if you go to this site and go create your own plate you can see how they all differ. If worst comes to worst could try a print screen of the characters i want and try re-drawing them.

    I think that font you initially told me about earlier in the thread was probably correct for the older style ones, I don’t think this new font has been around that long similar to our new one over here.

    Cheers, Joe
