"these plates are classed as show plates, they are intended for off road or show use only. We cannot except any responsibility for an legal proceedings taken against you if you use them on the public road."

I guess that is becuase pressed metal is not reflective like a british numberplate is.

I guess that is becuase pressed metal is not reflective like a british numberplate is.
MOT laws on number plates were relaxed at the end of last year. According to the MOT man too many people were failing MOT's based on the number plate laws, and the DVLA were getting inundated with complaints, and considering they now sell reg plates they decided to relax the laws.
My plates would have failed for having the car makers logo (only allowed GB or the Euro symbol), a car graphic in the middle of the numbers, and no postcode or details of who had made the plates up. Forgot to swop them over before I went for the MOT.
