Illegal Number plates?
« on: 31 March 2008, 14:56 »
Hey all.
Just a quick question if I may.
Got tugged the other day (by the fuzz lol)
And was told my plates on my car are Illegal.
They only slapped my wrist and told me to change them before driving the car again.
Just wanted you opinion.
Diddnt think they were as I havnt altered the spacing or anything.

Border and GTI badge are both illegal. Plate should just be UK font with no border and Postcode of issueing company and BS mark. Only badge allowed is a Euro flag one with GB in.

Font is OK...its the old Brit standard, much better than the new Brit standard (and that's an ex art teacher talking, so I know about these things!)

Nah their not pressed mate just look like it on the pic  :wink:
from what i've heard about pressed plates its because their not reflective so speed cams find it hard to capture.
(might be wrong though)
