where did you get them from mate? i went to get some ages ago at carnoisser in kettring as they were the only legal place nearest at the time you could do them but when i got there the f*****s had shut down so 40 miles for nothing fail lol

 

[Bazza_Clio]

There awesome mate, where they from?

 

[Craigus]

Don't think they are legal mate, looked into this for my last car and decided against it in the end.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but don't they need the British standard number on them and the name of the supplier, so th ePo Po can track down who ordered them etc.

 

[richy22]

It has got the name of the supplier...very dimly on the rear ones

 

[Greeny.]

Thought all pressed plates where illegal tbh!

[Curley]

[GR4H4M]

Love the plates, had 'illegal' jobbies on me Twingo, soon to be a set on the Clio too! Just one slight niggle hehe, why did you screw them on, spoils the clean look imo, when no more nails double sided tape would've done the job! And yes, you can still get them off again...

yup. had one of those standard length, quarter height plates. police nailed me a few nights ago. 60quid fine. has the fine went up at all? i remember andy from here saying he got a 30quid fine for his?

 

[David Ramsey]

I've had a set of these on from the exact same place. Been on about 9 month now and never had any bother. They're reflective, correct font, got the name and postcode and the BS in the bottom right

 

[.GAZ.]

Utter gash! Why ruin a decent car!!

 

[guysy]

[AhmedRSi]

[BIFCAIDS]

[AhmedRSi]

Yes, and 100% legal afaik.

[r_dizzel*]

i Like..

 

[AhmedRSi]

See? legal

 

[Alastair.]

lol at 100% legal, look good though

 

[Ads_172]

Pressed plates ARE legal if they conform to all regulatory requirements such as font, size, reflective, the manufacturer print on the bottom, etc.

There's no law dictating that a plate has to be flat plastic, IIRC.

 

[David Ramsey]

These ones are from Dubmeister, just have the name of the local dealer on the bottom

 

[Mr Burns]

I'm tempted now they seem to be legal!!

Has anyone fitted them using double-sided tape? Cba drilling holes tbh! lol

 

[Rb182]

Pressed plates are not illegal as long as the font is the correct size and spacing.

However, most pressed plates are illegal as they have no reflective background. They're not illegal simply because they are pressed.

I had the fuzz try and tell me that mine were illegal just because they were pressed, not true.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

copper must of being telling me porkies even tho he was sound, dam those police and there lieing ways. ill tell them next time there not illigal because there press and see how quickly i get a £60 fine

These pressed plates weight less than standard plastice one's

 

[Greeny.]

These the same legal plates that get people fined and not pass MOT's ye?

No these are "legal" the police are like gestapo round here and i pass them all the time with no problems. I wouldn't put illegal plates on my car i was fined before for my old plates i had the T at one side and 12eed squashed at the other, it's not worth the hassle having illegal plates on your car imo

 

[will.clio!]

I failed an MOT with my supposedly legal plates from Dubmeister, there is a thread somewhere on it.

had all the legal requirements etc BS code etc etc.

Mine ('illegal' jobbies, had correct spacing and font, but no place name/postcode and BS number) fitted on the Twingo were held on with No More Nails tape, these wern't budging! Bit of warm water poured over the plates + a hair dryer and they did come away...eventually...with careful, but paitent tugging! Plates were bent to feck though :S

Pics of me Twingo ones...

just argue it, I got pulled i think 2/3 times for mine on my 172 and never got fined, got the same old excuse "illegal cos they're pressed"- when asked to prove that they are illegal as they're pressed, ie show me the guidelines, they couldnt and so I was on my way. In fact mine didn't have the reflective background but they never seemed to pick up on that. I've just got the paperwork through today to put the reg on the 182 and they're going on tonight.

just to add, have a look here http://www.policespecials.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81351 and here http://www.bnma.org/bnma_legislation1.htm for clarification.
