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

I guess its cause they don't shjow on scamras very well!

Ive just put a set on my car! Cock! Did u get a fine?

my ones are jsut plain pressed with a dash in the middle, no "d" badge or anything, got pulled for them, £30 on-the-spot fine!

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!

There must be a certain age of car this applies to as my MK1 Caddy has pressed type plates and thats been fine, they are the ones fitted from new, 1988 i think.

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.

i got mine from plateman. so im guessin mine arnt legal? they r easy to read so y are they not legal?

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.

i have only ever got pulled on mine once... but thats cause i was driving like a cockeral. Changed them over to the normal ones infront of him and no fine given just told me to wait till i got out of chatteris till i changed them back


Think i will be pushing it on the orange font on white plates though.

think i will keep the old ones in the car wiv sum sticky pads and c wot happens!

I take it u changed them back to the pressed ones?

cause ive got plate holders all i had to do was put the little key in, pop the trim out, new plates in, trim back on. Looks more like i actually do it at shows then rather than run them 24/7

could b worth me investing in sum plate holders then?

At the end of the day there r chavs riding round with fonts that u cant read so im not going to worry 2 much. Im just a bit annoyed that i could of got legal pressed ones for the same price! :|
