Pressed plates, but I'd don't think the ones you posted are legal. Lettering doesn't look right also needs to have makers address on etc look good though, I have metal plates but I bought the legal version but let's face it the law is a bit dubious on plates and road officers seem to interpret it in different ways.

Them pressed plates are illegal incorrect font!

If your going to run pressed plates at least have correct font.

I had italic font for about 3 years without trouble.

then got stopped by one of the coppers from road wars so got them changed.

I guess it depends on how bored the officer is. not harming anybody isit

Neither.

I like the correct UK font on a pressed plate with no end tag or anything else on it.


BUT... its up to you what you put on your car.

Out of them id choose pressed plate.

They arent the correct font but youd have to get a knob of an officer to stop you (shame 99% are knobs!).

I have smaller plates on all 3 of my motors and my gf got stopped and told to change them on hers. Still havent as theyre the correct font etc, just overall 10mm smaller at most.

Its just your luck.

If they are easily read then whats the problem i think..

Heres mine, theyre smaller but not bad i dont think. Golf obv missing a space so pushing my luck.
