check the dvla website for the legal info mate.

however why get 3d effect chavvy looking plates when you can get pressed plates for not much more.

look much better IMO and less chavtastic.

Post by: Nino on 26 June 2013, 11:00: Trust me james i have done alot of reading up on plates before i got my pressed plates. To be legal they MUST be uk font. They MUST have the BS number on the bottom right hand corner and they MUST have the company that made them listed at the bottom in the middle. Chevk your current plates all this info will be on them. I have even pulled into a police stop and check on the side if the road once because i was worried and asked then to check my car. You should of seen there face lol but they confirmed that my plates are fine. :)
