Reg plates

[Aaronexx]

Looking to buy some new front and back reg plates, but don't want an advertisement on them and also looking for a competitive price.
Thanks in advance!

Ebay

There's a company I always use on eBay, think it's 'perfect plates'. Completely plain with the tiniest postcode on the bottom (legal requirement)

Cheers guys, found one on ebay, £20 inc p&p and look good quality! The company is called Autostyle

Fancy Plates would be where I'd be going.

Where I did go anyway haha.

£27 for a set of standard plates delivered from Fancy Plates, can't remember them being that expensive last time I ordered!

That looks cool mate!

Reg plates came today.

They're okay, not the highest quality though. They also came a little bent at one side but wasn't a problem as it bent back easily.

Looks good mate, not even sure they're legal though with them being raised up? are they metal?

I stand by fancy plates though. Mental quality.

I hope they're legal! Yeah they're like thin metal and they've been pressed.

They look great but I'm pretty sure if you get a jobsworth you can have your tits handed to you.

I think they have to be made of a 'retroreflective' material. Your plates will have a retroreflective coating but metal in itself isn't retroreflective so I think there's a bit of dispute on that one. I'm not 100% sure tbh.

@Sunglasses_Ron May inform you better.

They're not legal. Are they?

 

[Bear Head]

They're not legal. Are they?

I'm quite sure they're not but if someone clarifies haha. Poor lad will wish he never bothered lol.

 

[Aaronexx]

f**k sake haha, this has gone tits up! Good job I kept my old mouldy plates

This is the website I got it from if this helps, they say that they are legal and follow dvla rules, but then again could just be lying?

They are honestly probably fine mate. They look great. The majority on here run 3/4 plates anyway and about 50% of people I know who like cars run these metal plates anyway so don't even worry about it.

Ive had similar plates on mine for over a year now, No bother.

(Probably F*cked my luck now!!)

i was looking into getting some and after a long google search it appears they are legal but like you say some jobsworth will find something to complain about if you argue the fact they are legal i was going to get some but may attract attention from the wrong people

My pressed plates came from eBay (plate-maker)

 

[easym5]

Had a set on mine from these people,been stopped also they are road legal so stick them on mate
