Follow up to the above. I believe the plates were made up for the premier showing of QOS and placed onto a DBS, which was used for display purposes. If anyone one is interested I'll try and find out where they were made.

i know i'm being picky, but the blue ends are incorrect.

In what way. I don't have a high res picture of the back of the QOS DBS to compare. The front plate is hanging in the showroom where as the rear plate was hanging up in the service dept some two mile appart.

the blue ends shouldn't cover the plate top to bottom like on the front plate.

on the rear plate, the blue ends are roughly the same size as on the front plate, and there should be white around them.

hope that makes sense.

obviously i've been looking a bit obsessively close in the past.

Like said, these plates were especially made for Aston dealers to put on a DBS. They were not (supposed to be ?) for sale, yet my local dealer was kind enough to part with a set

i believe, if my sneeking suspisions are correct, that the plates in question were used on this dbs;

the rear plates should look like this;

christ thats one sexy car

Apart from being in the movie, does the reg stand for anything in particular?

pwalsh9012 · September 2009

Does anyone have a pic of the rear plates taken from the movie car, without me haveing to watch the film again. The front plate however is as one would expect.

yeah, the left blue bar features the 12 gold stars of the EU above a white letter I for Italy.

the right blue bar has a number 08 inside a circle, which is the year of registration. below the is a white letters MI, the region (or provincial) indicator for Milano.

the numbers 72 GH3LD are fictional as italian plates are meant to be in a 'AAA 111 AA' format.

hope that helps.

Gotcha. Just a minor detail change required to match the front which will be a standard dimension blue strip. The front plate in the Aston showroom is as it should be. Thanks Simon.

so can someone get me a front plate :-)

pwalsh9012 · September 2009

Guys, anyone know the name of the font used. I've sourced a supplier who has sent me a draft, were looking at the right hand set here, ignor the left. The font used isn't correct but I'm working on it, any help would be appreciated. However we don't want this to turn into a topic of its own

There you go - a long time after the request, but hey - this is the car

Not for the Aston, but I had these ones made a while ago:

Still figuring out how to make these rotating number plate holders
