French Plates

[Two Foot Tone]

I was thinking of getting some steel pressed plates like the french standard ones, are these legal in the UK? They would have the F badge but other than that look legal?

Thanks

Nope illegal.

Mine are.

Illegal, my mate had some. Turns out on the back of the plate they had 'DO NOT USE ON ROAD'. lol.

Damn, really wondered why the FAQ didnt have any information on legality! Ive seen loads of dubs with german plates! My dads a copper so I might just ask him if its something i get pulled for??

Had mine on 3 different cars over four and a half years and never had any problems.

Will need to swap them over to pass an MOT mind.

I went for the GB on mine and German font so the 7 looked more like a T.

If its got an F instead of the GB then it's not legal. If its not the standard British font it's also not legal and the number plates needs to have the postcode of the company it was made by on aswell as the bs number

I had some old style black and silver number plates on my Skoda Octavia VRS and never got pulled over, had them on for about 6 months aswell! Guess it is just luck of the draw but I think anything that will draw police attention to your motor is a bit risky!
