They aren't the right font or reflective. The probably have some stupid flag on them like Germany too as that seems to be the fasion for some reason.

What excuse did you have for having the old ones in the boot since you pleaded ignorance to the legalities?

only issue they had was the letter d on the plate.as to the question about how i got away with my old plates in the boot.you should see what else i got

GOT PULLED LAST NIGHT AGAIN.this time for sticky pads being visable on my normal reg plates where i had pressed ones attached.he also tried giving me a warning about "STREETRACING" i kind of had to argue as my 1.2 8v has as much power as a £1 shop battery

luckily for me,i know the officer who drives a renault laguna 225 before that a focus st in orange

its only when i said I KNOW YOU he shut up!!!

yes, i think so, because we said they are reflective so are not illegal on that side



they are illegal for the font, and the badge but not because of being reflective, which was stated in the original thread, hence you being 'slated'
