Nope I think its something to do with them not being reflective? being made from pressed metal.

Just don't give the fuzz a reason to pull you over I guess, but you do run the risk of getting a ticket if you have them fitted. |

to be fair, i was speeding when i got pulled, so i agree, just don't give them another reason to stop you! |

Yep, mine had pressed plates from factory too and its a 92 plate caddy.
I recently got fined 30 notes for those fitted on my ibiza. No flags, just a dash in between digits like jimmy's from the sounds of it.
cop said, they have to be GB flag if any, no dash and be the same font as that on regular plastic plates.
dubmeister have been selling Legal pressed plates for £30 a pair so there the 1's to go for if any to avoid being pulled._________________  |

wrong font dude, bet you paid nearly 30 notes for them aswell.
For all those that intend on getting pressed plates. Go to dubmeister only and ask for there legal jobbies. you'll need to produce your car details just like you would at halfords.
The plates should also have the makers details at the bottom of the plate._________________ |
