Putting a new reg on my car. It's V6XXX (XXX standing for another 3 letters).

How would you arrange it? V6XXX, V6 XXX or V6 XXX (with 2 spaces in between the 6 and the X)?
 
Didn't realise V6XXX was illegal. V6 XXX (with one space) is what I think looks the best. If that's the only arrangement that's actually legal that's that sorted :) Thanks.
 
baring in mind the websites that ask you this, still send you plates that are illegal (even if legally spaced) as they have to have the BSAU mark etc..

these websites sell the plates as not suitable for road use, and thus dont print the BSAU mark on them.

Granted your only going to fall foul of the law if some errant copper goes over your car with a fine tooth comb, but its something to bare in mind.
 
V6 XXX is the only legal way on a standard sized plate, and therefore the only way it doesn't look stupid.

Unless of course your car doesn't come with a recess for a standard UK-sized plate, in which case a 4x4 or Jap-shaped plate might look good, so you'll have it as:

V6
XXX

(Centralised, of course!)
 
legal ones yes, show plates no. I'll try and find the info on it.

Edit: although whilst googling I've found that Craigs plates has set up in Ireland to get around the new law

I believe from Nov. 1st MOT centers are being asked to "look closely" at number plates to make sure they do conform.
We'll just have to wait and see if it actually happens or not.
 
Any law they've come up with will either be so ridiculously stringent that it will impact legitimate businesses and end up getting challenged or it will be full of so many loopholes as to be made redundant just like the previous set of laws regarding numberplate sales were.
 
unfortunately mate your too late

the laws havee already been passed. Unless they have the necessary markings and correct spacing / fonts etc.. they can fine you and possibly issue a VDN.

Furthermore, MOT testers (if they want to be awkward) can fail your MOT based on them.
