I couldn't get any.  Viewing the legal requirements, it seems the old oval disk with UK in black letters on a white background is valid in the same way as GB was.  So I made one up in MS Word to a similar specification, covered it in sellotape to protect against the weather (couldn't find a laminator) and stuck it on.  You can't tell the difference!  It will suffice until I get back to the UK next week.  I couldn't find any requirement to stick one on the front but I understand the smaller blue stickers containing a flag that fit on as part of the number plate come with UK in white and yellow for fitting to the front and rear.

take it this was to replace the GB sign on the number plate with a UK one.  they must be selling them on the ferry now, stickers that is, but there are still a lot of cars here with the GB signage and some who have both!  There is a wooden board with a UK plate on it near the entrance to the supermarket by Lopez on the playa that someone has lost of the back of a trailer.
