    If its a foil back then it is not a vinyl, try searching for matte black polyester film & see what that throws up, can’t help with a supplier as its not something I have used 😆

    Frantic auto in France make these plates, taken over by 3m about 5-6 years ago.

    I know the reflective they use is 3m So the black could be a 3m product too.

    Very hard to get any info from them, I was frozen out when asking about the old style uk font
