I've had mine for a couple of years too, i've only got the front as I cant see a copper turning round for the sake of a plate  :wink:

MOT testers don't check colour only size of letters and position of the plate so its just the coppers you have to worry about, lets face it they're not the brightest bunch out there, how many of them do you think can actually work out how old a car is on the spot? none that I've met as none have ever mentioned the plate - they usually seem more interested in talking about what a great car the mk1 is  :grin: :cool:
