ive been done 3 times for plates £90 in ive learnt my lesson i just run standard ones the europl8 ones are legal but even with them on i got felt up several times with traff cops just wanting to be difficult i couldnt be bothered with the hassle anymore

Unless you show or supply docs to get a number plate they are ilegal / show plates only, suppliers have to keep records.

How about having correct font spacing but buying the plate before the law changed to say you have to have bs numbers and show your documents   :laugh:

dubmister plates are all good.. but as noladdubholmes said you still get arsy coppers who will trying saying they are illegal knowing majority of us cant be ar5ed to take it as far as court even if we are in the right in the end..the copper  that pulled me over told me all pressed plates are illegal they have to be standard reflective plastic plates.. which  :shocked: me .. funny enough he did not say nothing about the front plate which i have evo style one on corner bumper.. even tho his fellow collegue was adament i should get 60 fine for that too..they where litteraly debating in front of me if the front is illegal or not.. (shows some coppers dont know text book law even though it is there job to know so!) lukily i only got fine for the rear plate  :angry:..

You don't have to take them to court. Take your fine, then email Dubmister and they will write a very stern letter for you explaining how and why they are legal. Had that over to the superintendent and case is dropped.

Theres a thread in off topic about it. everything got dropped and he got a letter apologising for the hassle
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
