Excellent info Dean, good to know all that. 
I'm following Connors advice re personalised plates:

Seems to work well because in Word you can resize an image not only by percentage but actually specifying the dimensions - I chose length and keep aspect ratio which works very quickly and easily.
(A business-grade Samsung colour laser printer is also useful….) 
In fact I've gone a stage further and ordered (from Germany) a 1/43 scale model of SWMBO's car (the Volvo, 1/18 N/A) and will add her tiny personalised plate to that. 
Dean, if that order goes wrong I might come grovelling to you for assistance on shipping, they only seem to be available in Germany.
