Dubmeister is afaik the only place to get legal pressed plates, and yes they will fit in the surrounds and imo are a must as drilling metal plates looks crap  :smiley:

Not against the fines you get for running dodgy plates.

I got mine imported from germany through eBay and are plain pressed with German font. Havent had any issues as yet and Ive had two police officers looking over my car and talking to me aout it and they werent mentioned once. MOT tester didnt even pick up on it so I guess people are stupid or I'm lucky... Or both!

I got some from this guy but not put them on the car yet:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pressed-Metal-GB-number-plates-100-ROAD-LEGAL-/120912712837?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c26f59485

Delivered really quickly, good quality, reflective and have all of the necessary markings but not 'legal' I guess because no documents were shown. Not interested in 'german look' or anything, just thought they looked a bit smarted than the cracked plastic ones I already had.

I got stopped by cops last night because of my Dubmiester pressed plates. Apparently I have an attitude problem because I pointed out the BS mark on them making them road legal and also wouldn't tell him what I was employed as - I have no idea what my job has to do with a reg plate  :undecided:

another vote for dubmeister, really nice quality and all importantly legal plates.
i was stopped twice by your normal town copper with my old german stlye and german font plates and they never picked them up, one even looked at them up close and mentioned the 'D' but nothing. then the fateful day came when a traffic officer clocked them and that was the end of them. they said the normal town coppers dont know every part of the law hence they miss things like number plates.

rough idea of what your number plates need to conform to http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/PersonalisedRegAndNumberPlates/DG_181503
