Was thinking of getting these for the car for taking photos or at shows, I can't decide whether i think they're tacky or not though

Other option would be to get put an mr2.ie sticker on the reverse of my license plates and then flip them around when taking pictures or at shows, thoughts?

ive had my eyes on these with a while aswell.wen ive the spare cash im gonna buy em they look good.or else even a set of real jap plates.wud be a nice touch for photos r shows..

I was thinking about getting genuine plates too but I couldn't find a set, only individual ones. I asked my cousin about them when he used to work for a jap car importers but the cars never come in with plates on them

I think both the plates or the sticker on the reverse would look cool. Much nicer than seeing blank photoshopped reg plates.

I think I'll do your stickeron the reverse idea. Might get these ...

I think they'd look well for shows, mr2.ie idea is brilliant if there were a few of us at it with them on

If there are a few of us doing it, i'd go forthe mr2.ie as well.

Just had a quick look for stickers online. Quick quote for 10 stickers (30cmx10cm) for only approx 40 euros delivered

seems like good value, count me in for 2 of them anyway if there's enough interest

Might have to get two sets - for those with different size reg's.

Anyway, if pepole want to forward on any artwork for reg plate designs ...

Here's a quick one

What about a rising sun with mr2.ie written in the sun? I'm at work now but i'll try and put something together tonight

Might be better - you'd never know - that Japanese writing on the one I found might mean something offensive !

I'd be up for the MR2.ie stickers. Count me in!!

Now this is prob way over the top and tacky,lol

Might not be easy to see for a reg plate but def not tacky - a very cool pic for a poster, banner, wallpaper etc

cool pic, KC for you dr photoshop

that is cool

way too much detail for a reg plate though, it'd cost a bomb to make them...although if spidey wins the euromillions...

btw you can download the mr2 font here It looks good in pictures and such

Top find Mark! KC for you

this is what i had in mind. only uses 1 colour too so that'd keep the price down

I actually dislike all of the banzai stuff, I think it gives a bit of a 'ricer theme'.

Anything with an Irish flag or maybe viking ship or something?

lol, not quite what I had in mind. KC for trying though...

I don't think my skill level would be up to this, and it may not be even possible but...what if we could write mr2.ie in such a way that it looks like a side view of the car. a good example would be this

I quite like the idea of the look-a-likey jap plate with MR2.ie instead of the reg. You could write something interesting in the japenese symbols .. but not rude.

I think there is a way of moulding text to any shape in Photoshop but I don't have pshop on the laptop (takes too much coal to get the power to a reasonable level).

Might give it a go in work tomorrow

I would even put one of these on my car, as long as you don't tell the OC admin

Guess who's bored!!

I mess around with a few diff ones but "irfanview" is what I use to create the effects, and then
just use "photopad" if I want to put layers and transpareny effects etc

I don't have a clue what you both are talking about but that is cool. I love the jap flag with the drawn cars.

i like the first ones the best, with the SW20

The reason you cant buy genuine Jap plates is because in Japan you get a registration number when you first start driving and keep that number plate for the rest of your life just transferring it onto your next car. a pain for us Jap enthusiasts!!!

I never knew that, i was wondering why ebay wasn't ful of them. there are a few but I couldn't find any pairs. Karma for that bit of info though
