The supplying dealer charges only £9 a plate so it seemed reasonable. They said if i came back with the registered keepers driving license it would be fine, yea because that makes all the difference doesn't it
just being ***** typical of BMW garages

If you're getting anything other than bog standard plates some coppers are ******** towards anything other than completely standard plates. Keep a note of this incase you get any **** then you can shove it in their face.
A lot of the lads with pressed steel plates get these kind of problems, even if they're uk plates.

Then its not legal. It has to have the name, postcode and BS AU standard number.

Mine have been through 2 MOT's without the BSAU markings.
Your car is not a September 2001 or newer. Plates made before this date are exempt and there is no way to prove when a plate is made save for the fact if its on a '51 plate car or newer it must be post September 01.
Mine have been through 2 years without marking, yet my neighbour was stiffed for failing MOT on them and had to buy new plates, they "chucked out" his old set when he asked for them back. Yet he bought the car from a garage in the first place
My cars have, but going by your sig, you have a mk2 Golf? I'm sure I read somewhere that these 'rules' only apply to 2001 or newer cars?

Ah I see
Silly me
Yes - I have 3 friends who have all failed MOT tests because of missing vendor and/or BSU numbers.

Well I did get them from Halfords lol, the car and insurance were in my Mother's name.
Halfords were quite good, they only put a tiny logo and that is in the same yellow as the plate, but non reflective, you couldnt tell until you were up close.
Although I understand dealer plates, I want some!

I too was impressed with just how subtle the Halfrods markings are.
They are obviously legal but the markings they have to put on are so small and in such a colour you really can't see them.

I've been thinking of a set of them for my Saxo, but the "Documents being sent in post or by hand" puts me off as sending them seems to risky (nearest agent is 31miles away). No way they or a similar company can be emailed a scan of them?
EDIT: Surely that means that NO online plates can be legal then as they need to see the physical documents?
