show plates are not road legal (They need a BIS number or something that the showplates don't have)

I've had them on my last four cars and never ever had a problem, never failed an MOT and the filth have not batted an eyelid, although I'd be mighty impressed if they could see a plate lacking a BS mark from 20 metres :p

saves loads of money and negates all the hassle of finding all your documents and then queuing in halfrauds, win win
 
I just buy mine from the main dealer. Main dealer branded plates - BMW dealers at least - look clean, professional and don't have anything irritating written on them. And above all they are cheap - £9 each!

That just means the police in your area aren't doing their job and your MOT certificates aren't worth the paper they're written on :confused:

If the police in my area were stopping every single car on the roads checking for BS stamps on numberplates I think that would probably have a minor knock on effect ;)

but i did laugh if that helps :)
 
I wish uploadit.org hadn't gone **** up I'd show you my plates, they look identical to standard 'eu' plates apart from the cornish flag where the UK one should be. I even used to have a tiny front plate so my FMIC could breath better, despite being tugged by the police for various things that was never the reason and I never got a ticket for it.

granted stupid fonts, mis-spaced letters, nuts and bolts all over the shop are all justified reasons for a tug & a ticket but a standard font'd plate just won't register on the old bill's care-o-meter.
 
We make our own number plates for our used cars, and I personally think the 3D text looks the best as they set them apart from standard plates a little bit.

We have a coloured border with different coloured text (web address) and a small logo and the bs no.

Then you are supplying cars with illegal plates - law changed in November 2008 to prohibit logos and website addresses on plates.

Which completely sucks, I agree, but you are now supplying illegal plates.

Hence my car being fitted with a nice BMW branded rear plate with dealer URL yet a plan front plate with simply the dealer name, all thats allowed by law now, after somebody cracked the front plate AFTER the law changed :(
 
Maz people with incorrect plates really gets on my nerves. I hope you don't mind but I've reported this. It's for the common good. I know it wasn't your decision.
 
pmkeates, please report me too, I just can't bring myself to walk into a police station.

Please let them know I'm a flight risk and a highly dangerous black belt in origami

thx

Obviously it depends on the individual officers; you see some on the 'Traffic Cops' type shows that are very fussy about number plates.

The Cornish flag and smaller front plate are both clear-cut offences. Surprised to hear you've been pulled with those plates and not had it mentioned. Should be serving jail time right now :mad: :p

kernow hater :p

I take you point and sure there are anal coppers out there, but correctly spaced, correctly font'd plates with a tiny incorrect flag in the corner aren't responsible for that much child rape so I think the majority ignore it and focus on the kilos of coke up my nose and on my back seat :cool:

Mine have them in semi-translucent white. Almost impossible to see, even up close.

That's actually not bad at all, Halfords here does the branding in black so looks naff :/

I imagine they charged you £15~ per plate too.

Plain plates front and back are the best plates though, no GB logos, no dealer logos, no rubbish borders, just the legal requirement and nothing extra :p
