Title: German plates
Post by: patch900 on 25 April 2007, 13:49
Hi,

are the german (pressed metal) plates legal ? even if they have the GB symbol on ?

I saw a kid driving with some on the other day, thought they looked sweet and mine are pretty knackered (especially the rear) and will need replacing.

Well I have bought some, euro plates in non GB font.  :evil:

In the words of NWA f*** the police.

Well actually, :embarassed:, will buy some english ones as well for a backup, so I can change em if I need to. If I go on holiday and the car is sat on the road will change em for the english ones.
