Carbon numberplate?

Anyone know if this is being done - no luck looking so far, found one possible source but it has since gone into liquidation.

Trying to find a company who will make up a rear numberplate using carbon sheet material instead of the usual ABS. I'm looking for a (sort of- bit smaller than), legal size with the yellow reflective surface applied onto the carbon but with the letters cut out so they remain a carbon black weave finish.

I'm not interested in looking at any fake carbon effect stuff though. Only the genuine article please

Have you tried these guys?

If you get the carbon and the reflective film, I can use my vinyl cutter to chop out the letters for you.

Good advice and link Millar!

Just ordered a piece of high quality 3mm pre-preg carbon sheet for about £30 and a couple of sheets of reflective yellow vinyl from Ebay for about £3. I'll have a go at cutting the letters myself first but if I can't do it precisely enough I might take you up on your offer.

Think this plate will look good! I'll post pictures when complete.
