Planning a few days in France in my car after restrictions ease but I currently have a Euro/GB number plate.
Can’t find a number plate without a union/England flag but just want a GB (no flag) plate.
I know I can get a sticker to cover the Euro part but buggered if I can find just a bog standard GB-only plate.
 
I see a GB sticker is needed in Spain even if you have a GB plate.

I think you have to use an old school GB sticker now even if you have a GB plate. Might be worth trying to get a magnet one so you can remove it after your trip (but get a spare in case it goes missing or you leave it on and go to the car wash)
 
One wonders if having a Euro GB plate in UK now is a target for the fascist brexiteers and having a GB plate and flag in EU becomes a target for EU obsessives

Plenty of show plate vendors on eBay, will make anything you want.

They really don’t care.

Anyway, you can easily get one printed online with the GB blue badge and no flag. The flag was optional I think.
Also, some "show plates" vendors are slightly less stringent options to be printed on.

Old fashioned GB stickers readily available online for pennies.

I’ve used them on bike and car for years.

I’ll be replacing the original dealer plate with the neater (fully legal) spare that’s been in a drawer for years.


The above reminder regarding removing panniers and/or top box while touring is worth noting with regard to where one mounts the GB sticker.
