Just what was on it when I bought it, may get some fresh ones, plain as possible and correct font in black with correct spacing.

Where does the Aussie bulldung (BSAU) go on the plate?
Wanna check if mine have it :O
BS AU 145D, very small text (mine has it, but you can't see it in the photo above), usually bottom right.
Vehicles registered after 1 Sept 2001 must display this mark. Stamped metal plates don't conform to BS AU 145D, unless maybe they're reflective and bendy enough, I'm not about to buy the standard (£84) to find out.
Vehicles registered after 1 Jan 1973 have to have plates made of reflex-reflecting material.

I believe the law is about to change on 'side badges' i.e where the EU logo goes, all cars registered and kept with the UK will have to display either no badge or the EU logo with GB underneath.....anything else is illegal.
Although UK Government will let you display either a CYM SCO or NI/IRL if you live in those countries, law to be adopted in 2010 IIRC.

The thing is, what is the point? What significance, other than driivng abroad maybe, does this left hand symbol have? If its option to have nothing, maybe just make that the law and have done with it, rather than an either or.
I wonder how much this pointless legislation is costing to put through too. Wish they'd just fix the ******* roads instead

Personally i've always been a fan of the EU look:
But i can see why some would prefer the cleaner numberplate look

Never understood why people like to pretend they are Czech, or French, or German. It looks really daft.
Do you live in Germany?
Perhaps for those of us who quite clearly don't get it, you could explain the thought process behind fitting plates with another countries font even though you know it'll cause problems with police and MOT time, is it really worth the hassle?

I'm with you on this one.
My plates on both cars are standard british plates for the time, bearing in mind my pug is an '84, so its a bit different to modern ones.

Because I think they look better, my car is pre-MOT then when it comes around it'll be getting done at my mates garage and if the police stop me (which doesn't happen often here) then I'll pay the £30 fine and get some UK legal pressed plates. That's my thought process, I'm sure some people have various other reasons.

Get rid of the EU stars!
Wow - everybody seems to have a "mate" who runs a garage.
Is your "mate" willing to lose his MOT license?
Because if he allows your illegally plated car through and the vehicle is subsequently stopped, the MOT pass can be traced back and he could lose his license to do MOTs.
Excellent mate if he's willing to risk that.
So if I have a car registered before '01 but using plates that have a Euro-symbol on them ... I do not need the BS AU 145D?
(because technically the plate "design" I'm using is for post 01 plates; but the car is pre 01)
