As long as the spacing and font size are ok i don't see why they are illegal. They look ace too, where you get them from?

As Alex said, if the font size and spacing is correct, they'll be fine, but I doubt if they are...

I've never had the plate mentioned on my car, had mine since PVS this year, Looks well neat though!

I could get pulled/fined for it if they wanted to. I also stuck the normal one on for MoT.

TBH, I expect that the police will be quicker to notice that there is no spacing between your numbers and letters!

Do you need a specific size border around the letters for them to be legal?
