they arnt actually legal mate the site will tell you they are because they arnt based in the uk, the law changed in november stating that it is illegal to make/sell show number plates which is exactly what french plates are, any number plate supplier in the uk making them is braking the law and risks a £5000 fine

Due to British number Plate Law changing on the 1st of Novemeber 2008, all our plates are now shipped from the Republic of Ireland (Co.Wexford), this means your order WILL take longer to arrive! (please allow between 4-12 working days)

that must be their way of getting around the new legistration

This gets asked so many times..
The only plates now legal in the UK are plates with the standard font, legal background, must have an address underneath of where the plates are from and the only logos aloud are the GB logo
https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q402.htm
http://www.dvla.gov.uk/media/pdf/leaflets/inf104.pdf PAGE 8
People say they havn't been stopped and have had them for ages.. they will eventually be stopped when a traffic cop who knows what's what spots it. Then it's an on the spot £30 fine

even though they say "Yes! These are legal on the UK Road!"

Yes, unless you want plates without a UK registration, we have stopped making these as most will know...
However we're pleased to annnounce that our Show Plate site is now being run by a German company, and they can ship show plates world wide! Delivery is DIRECT from Germany, and only takes one more day, they are using a 2 day service by DPD to most European countries including the UK.
This is a genuine service not a 'cover up' or 'smoke screen' so if you want real made in Germany show plates, please give them a try! They can make all the varieties we used to do, plus more, and soon adding narrow FE font to allow more letters on plates!
Go to www.platemyride.com

if that's true then what ollsaxogti applies, they're still illegal
but not sure on them

Pressed plates are legal providing they are the correct font, letter spacing, letter size and have a reflective background.

So would you say the Dubmeister GB ones are legal then?
I can't see a website like that with local dealers that also sell show plates lie about legit plates?!
