I remember that massive thread that was the arguement over whether they are legal or not! Very heated!

i thought all pressed plates was illegal due to the fact they do not reflect as normal ones do?.
dint yorkie get pulled for his aswell?
I now my mate got pulled thew days ago becuase his corsa had that Vauxhual logo on the side of the plate LMFAO and he got told off about his standard front so called tinted windows when he told me about that i was in stitchs for ages!

correct, also another thing, after oct 1st 2007, your car WILL NOT pass an MOT with ANY plates not displaying a manufacturer's POSTCODE, if you are caught and your car has been MOT'd after that date, they invalidate the MOT and a £60 fine *G.Brown is screaming ching ching* so that means the car will need a retest, obviously the new test will be the going rate, so thats 60 + approx 55 + shit loads of stress
