Old Style Numberplates

[miketheman2k]

Ye olde number plates....the white (or silver) text on a black backing.

Has anyone on here got these style plates on their car? Do you get pulled over frequently for a full-on cavity search, or have the (hang on, try not to laugh) police got better things to do.

Also, do the 3/4 sized front numberplates go down badly?

Finally, show me some damn pictures

Cheers.

Don't know about the olde stylee black and silver ones but my 3/4 at the front is fine. Never been stopped/pulled or even looked at twice and drove past/towards numerous police cars on quiet roads.

That must be one strong chair in the background.

Just buy a car pre-1972 (or something like that), then you won't get pulled for having those types of numberplate .

I was thinking more along the lines of a Model T Ford. Beast.

its obviously illegal to put those sort of plates on a new car, as 'i dont think' they have a reflective backing, which is an automatic law infringement. Not sure if anyones been stopped because of them however, try people like scott 16v who had em on his naples (i think)

I had my black plates on for ages, only got pulled over twice. I took them off mind because I thought it looked a bit too 'rude boy' on my car.

That worries me slightly - not sure if its only a few steps away from neon washer jets and lexus lights :S

Is it simply a £30 fine and not a points penalty?

Any pics would be useful to
