french pressed plates

[baize]

thoughts? i love them. are they legal? pics of yours

 

[EllD90]

No they're not legal, yes they can look OK depending on what car.

Stuck them on my Clio now and again:

 

[Owen92]

They're not legal. I don't know why anyone would want to draw attention to themselves with number plates

true, you are asking to get pulled bit like 3/4 plates, I don't see the point !

 

[JoshE93]

Pressed plates what are done in UK standard number plate fonts etc are legal

As long as they have got the correct bsau number on

 

[LiamR172]

They look good sometimes. Half planning one for the front, not sure about the rear though?

 

[Cliosaregay]

well the police car behind me today didn't seem to have a problem with them on my clio ...

 

[EllD90]

Cos that's a legal font.

 

[Cliosaregay]

its pressed metal "euro style" so not 100% sure if they are but tbh you there isn't much difference visually...


pressed metal (left) normal (right)

 

[JackJack]

Having the F on the side isn't legal unless your car is registered in France iirc.

Because that's in the standard uk font?

 

[Leeshez]

As said the UK spec ones are ok.

 

[bill]

leeshez- theyy legal?

 

[Revels]

None of them are legal.

 

[Chapppers11]

Some of the pressed plates are, as long as they have the correct font, size of plate and a postcode on iirc?

 

[Revels]

Nope. Because they aren't reflective.

 

[Toby]

This.

That looks spot on.

 

[Owen92]

Nope. Because they aren't reflective.

If they have the bsau number then they are legal because they are of the right type plate with the correct spacings and font and are also reflective

 

[jam.]

Nope. Because they aren't reflective.

Wrong. Mine are pressed and just as reflective as regular ones.

 

[Nicky Thomas]

UK pressed plates are not the best, but they are better than normal if you are going to be abiding by the law

 

[Ads_172]

As said, you can get pressed plates that have the reflective coating on them now so are legal. I quite like them as they're not obviously different from normal plates but catch your eye.

Do you have any pics of them on a Clio mate? Been looking for some but not seen them on a Clio.

 

[Djw John]

Got some pics of my illegal ones here mate http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...t-Log-Ph1-Flame-Red-172&p=8668266#post8668266. Think we get away with more in Scotland. Touch wood!

 

[Austin-182]

GB pressed plates ARE legal....dont understand why people say they arnt, obviously dont actually know but just asume they are rite because they think they are.

 

[sam55]

You can get legal pressed plates. I had them on my old Punto, they even had the postcode marking and were reflective. I think clean plastic plates suit the Clio more though tbh

I don't mate, sorry. Only have them on my Golf and they just look normal in the photos I have.

Mmmmmmm yeah these ones are nice. Shame they're illegal. Cheers for the input guys

 

[Djw John]

Cheers. Yeah it is a shame but I run the risk anyway! Always change them to standard for going into England!

You can't get legal French pressed plates. Just legal British pressed plates

 

[Šįk]

Sorry yea, ok is it possible to get reflective Aliminium pressed plates?

 

[Owen92]

I don't know of they are actually ally but they are made of metal

 

[Gary-Clio]
