sounds like a fab idea.

i got a richbrook one with an engraved vauxhall logo a couple of years ago, may not sound like much, but it was custom then as i didn't want the tiny logo offered, so they changed the size and flipped the image.

i think they're still trading as well! at www.gsmart.co.uk
( tax discs at http://www.gsmart.co.uk/index.asp?page=catalogue.asp&cat=interior&catvar=inttax)

well smart! but i do have to get the allen key out once a year! (it's easy) and i think it's possible to get anything written under the griffin, like OOF, Elite, CDX etc

oh and three years ago it was about fifteen squid.  :y

That would be great :y

Well Timbuk does a great job with the window stinkers and they are at a great price. I don't think people mind paying a few pound out but i have seen these Ali looking ones for over a tenna, I don't know what anyone else thinks but I think that is to much for a tax disc holder (maybe i am tight ;D)

I have sent e mails to a few people on e bay who apparently make tax discs up. I asked for something like

OmegaOwners
      Forum

or

OmegaOwners.com

on the back, is that ok with everyone or do you think something else would be better?

Just got of the phone with a printers in Stafford, asked what they can do for us...

He said you could have any primary coloured tax disc with any colour writting you chose....

Price he said as a rough guess for a 100 = about £1.50 each
                                                     1000 = about 50p each

Title: Re: Tax Disc Holders

Sounds good to me  :y They're 99p for a boring plain one at my P.O.

Sorry to go off on a tangent - but how do you fix it to the windscreen?
Mine keeps falling off since I got the new tax disk!
Perhaps an OOF one would be a better bet...

I haven't forgot about these Tax Discs, but out of all the amount of people I e-mailed and phoned I have had three replies! saying that if we wanted to have the omegaowners.com logo from the homepage a screen printer will be needed as it is three colours, so I have phoned people in the yellow pages.... most people I have been in touch with won't be able to it, but, I did speak with one printer not far from me who I called to see again on Thursday and he was still trying different people to get the Logo so all not lost....
I should have kept you all up to date sorry about that guys :-[

I have a sample that one printer sent me that I didn't think was good enough TBH, I have been trying to get the picture on here to show ya, but it is adobe and I don't know how to do it :-[ :-[

I have been chasing these printers and a few have said the same thing..... Our Logo with the two Omega's and the Omega Owners Forum text on it, isn't good enough resolutions for the printing process needed.
So is there a proper photo that they can use?
I did ask about the photo with all the cars on at the Not Wales Meet, but to get it onto the back of a Tax Disc Holder would the cars be recognisable as the picture would obviously need to be made far smaller??
Another thing that was mentioned was that with the logo being in the rectangular shape it would be like that on the back of the Holder.....

I have just got off the phone with a designer at a printers, she said that if we could get a few pictures of Omega's who are on the Forum, they would be able to do something more special than she would be able to do with the Logo.......

What does everyone think??? or would everyone prefer to have the Logo on the Holder??

Kerry the lady i have spoken too has sent me a sample of something she did on a business card. This is the sort of thing she was thinking of but with Our Omega's on....

Looks good, but the text is on the inside of the car, look at these holders where you can also get the logo on the front of the tax disc holder e.g., small sheild tax disc holder :y
