They are only legal if you have bought them using the relevent documentation so they can be traced back. I got mine from Dubmeister, wouldn't bother getting them off ebay.

Had pressed plates on my old mk3. Got them from volksfest, had them on for about 7months and had no problems I.e. police and went thru the mot fine with them on.

Any plates supplied without docs or id are show plates, plain and simple.

Yes but for the risk of a £60 fine, why take the chance.
