craggsy 91 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Not legal...never will be legal with german font. Pressed plates can be legal by using UK font and needs to have BS mark and sellers details on.Dubmeister i beleive do them.It is a proper grey area really Link to post Share on other sites

Dazdub 0 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I had some german pressed plates on my golf when i first bought it and got pissed off with being stopped by the police some bought some from here www.demonplates.com Link to post Share on other sites
H13VYY 0 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 i got pulled over twice and let off twice. so i changed my plates. defo not worth it. whenever i went past cops, i'd get worried of being pulled over. its much better to be safe. Link to post Share on other sites
chazvr 1 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 i had pressed plates with the font and the 'd' come with the car when i bought it and was ok for the first couple months then i got stopped twice in a week by undercovers. I got a producer for the first one but they can dish a 60quid fine if they want. I got them changed straight away as its not worth the aggro but i guess it just depends on what area you live in.
