then i had a slight bump, so instead of getting normal plates., i got some pressed ones, i think they look amazing :D

Get some normal plates made up and be ready to grovel to change them over for the plod, as you will get pulled for those.

Looks nice mate other then the plates IMO.  :undecided:

Always found it weird having German plates on an otherwise standard car.

Any form of tint on the front windows is illegal

Did you supply / show docs to get them, if not they are show plates plain and simple.

they've got all the relevant details on them, the correct font, correct size, correct spacing...

no police officer is gonna know if i supplied docs to get them or not...

Not the point, they are still showplates.

Number plate suppliers have to keep records by law.

well if they won't know whether i supplied docs or not then i'm hardly gonna worry am i... plus the plates i have on atm that came with the car have no details on them anyway apart from the reg itself and i've not been pulled for that so hardly gonna worry.

this.

i got done for my plates (pressed german font) so got some legal font ones made up on the net, didn't supply docs or anything. the dvla requested pics of them and the little code in the corner, which i sent and all was fine.
