No docs needing to be shown means they are illegal.

Wrong :rolleyes: we make number plates in work and have to keep records so if any trouble they can be traced back to the supplier.

Lol i make number plates at work to. The plates need to have the postcode of the place that made it, and the correct UK stamped number. bsau 145d. If they are reflective and of the right font, theyre legal. The police wont know that you didnt have to show your V5 or V11 etc to get a plate made up.
Yeah, German font isn't UK font :laugh:
-
any plate made after 1999 needed the manufacturers details on (and bs mark)
luckily your mk3 had the pressed plates fitted years ago :wink:

Well if they checked the records the supplier should keep then it could get interesting :smiley:

Surely when you order them they will have enough details? Reg number, name and address of buyer, bank details...

Genuine number plate supplies are supposed to keep copies of reg doc plus photo id as well

I got mine at a show. all I gave was the plate number and they are legal all marked up as said.
I've got pulled over two weeks ago (3rd time in 8 years) thought it was for the plates, but it was for my rear tyres, he thought they was bald on the inside. They aint. he Then radioed through and done all the checks reading the reg plate over to, whoever lol All fine of course. He said keep a eye on them and I have a nice car. maybe he is a golf lover. :grin:

I cannot see anywhere in that ad that says you need to send docs in which case they are not legal.

Because as I posted earlier an official number plate supplier has to see id and reg doc before making the plates then keep copies afterwards.

thats down to the supplier not the consumer...

:undecided: the point is any plates supplied without docs are classed as show plates plain and simple.

If the supplier says that the plates are legal, thats that. Plain and simple.

If only it was that simple :rolleyes:
What happens if your stopped and the police check your plates and who supplied them :undecided:
-
Then they'd see the suppliers company name and postcode underneath the Reg. Who do you make numberplates for?!

We used to make them in work but due to all the hassle involved we no longer bother.
Have a read of this: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/71859428/Registration-of-Number-Plate-Suppliers-_RNPS_-Information-for- very interesting read.

Just read through that document and Wayne is as ever, correct.
Company needs to be registered to sell the plates and keep records should the DVLA or Police ask to see them.
Read it if you don't believe it.
Lukily for me i can just order the Ebay ones :grin: All they ask over here is for the number.
Just to add, the plates ARE legal and conform to everything. However the way the company is selling them IS Illegal.
