Pressed plates
« on: 23 April 2009, 16:42 »
Am thinking of getting legal pressed plates as my first small mod, was just wondering how much hassle they cause with the old bill? I understand they won't be able to do anything coz they're legal but dont wanna be stopped all the time, in other words, is it worth it?

As long as they are of legal size/colour and the letters/numbers are all correctly sized i cant see a problem. I had some metal pressed std plates fitted to my old S2000 and never had a problem with the old bill.

do it. . .and you can get them from here as they are the legal ones http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/  :cool:

best to phone tho, give them your reg and details and if you want the GB band. then you need to send documents. . . done it twice now for me and my mate and everything fine.

never been pulled and even if i were they are fine,  :smiley:

A lot more value for money imo, normal plates are made outta rubbish materails these days so they go crappy after a few years, pressed plates will do you for a lot longer. Shame things aren't over engineered anymore, the plates on some of my Golfs have been like 20+ years old!
