I would recomend keeping your original plates in the car as the police seem to be getting strict about different plates....fines are about £30 for having non standard plates too

got mine from plateman, very nice and they sell the mounts which allow you to change the plates very easily

been on for 6 months, pigs have never stopped me yet

I'd recommend dubmeister.com mate, they're great, get them in a couple of days, really good quality, but like above, carry a set of legal plate in your boot just in case, some places you'll be ok I had a set on my polo for a year then i got caught out, I got off lightly and just told to change them but some folks get fined and all sorts!
