You will have to make your own Ian . Stamp the numbers you want on a piece of ally using punches then either rivet or Sikaflex the plate on to the chassis . I made mine the same width as the chassis tubes and mounted it just behind the drivers side ' rocker ' tower , on the 25mm's tube . You normally do that once it's passed SVA .
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

You could try one of those places that do engravings, you know like watches and trophys.
They must have jigs and engraving machines that would do a tidy job!!
