Thanks.

Are they road legal? Also, how much did they set you back?

No for shows only. I'm using velcro to secure so can swap plates easy.

£17 off ebay, although they are £30 on the guys website.

By the by really;
Quite an issue!
I see...

Oh sh*g! I really wanted a set of pressed steel plates but I'm guessing since they're not reflective, no manufacturer can claim to be UK legal.

same bloke on ebay

the plate man aka ebay user    matriches sell 2 sets every day starting @ 99p

they aren't road legal but you wont get german style ones cheaper.

will probably get a plate holder, so wont have to mess around drilling the plate, i thought i had ordered a golfgti.co.uk but can't remember lol
