I'm not saying don't run them I think they look far better, but they are illegal non the less. Was just saying, simply because they have numbers on and the seller says they are doesn't make them legal

My mates been told to swap them and been finned before but not very often. I'd imagine they don't care, but if you where being a tit and they wanted too it gives them a reason to fine you I suppose

Any number plates supplied without docs are show plates, suppliers now have to keep records.
