Custom Reg Plates - illegal?

[Clio_dci100]

The registration plates on my car seriously need replacin cos they've started to change colour...ewwww

A few months back i bought some nice reg plates but with a slightly different font which i beleive are a little bit smaller too.

Is it ok to put them on the car cos ive heard the'r illegal but seen lots about, wot do you think? could i get a fine?

I'd have a look on the DVLA website. They're getting quite strict on it. Characters have to be a certain size, and have certain spacings.

Yes you'll get probably get pulled, as for a fine probably. It depends on how bad they actually are, the police on the day & what they are generally like in your are tbh (some police are a lot more harsh than others)

You need the standard font, size & spacing to remain legal. You can have a cut down reg plates, but the gap between the letter to the edge must still be 11mm.

No

Nope, anything other than the correct font in both size and type, with an eu/gb etc logo on it, marked with a BS no and the name and postcode of the seller is illegal.
