It's just one of those things, some will pull you over - some won't.

helms - just out of interest, were yours the normal layout or did you have any additions that made them stand out?

No nothing to make them stand out, the spacing was correct, although it doesnt look it in the picture i am affraid. i even said that the were German plates, but he was having none of it. Never mind, ive got the normal ones back on there. Area i live in seems to be swarming with cops recently.
so not worth the risk for me.

There have been no end of people pulled around this way for these type of plates.

You can get a fine, a producer and you have to stick original and legal plates on and take it to an MOT station to get a conformity form stamped. That costs £10 (we are doing a lot of them atm)

The ANPR camers can't read them so ultimately you 'could' be done for fraud apparently.

hmmm not sure about davidol's ones... don't the German bits in the middle refer to tax n stuff? How has he not been pulled over?

I got the plates cos they were the closest to Spanish ones, that no-one seems to make.

i only got pulled the once for those plates, and that was during an "interesting" overtaking move i used :lol: £30 fine, oh well lol

Those ones look really nice, but they're a bit too different than I'd want to risk on the road.

As JIMYU said, don't you get pulled all the time? Do you have your front plate in the windscreen or something?

Front plate is in the window at the mo and has been for the last few months, but have driven with nothing at all a few times!

Been lucky so far have been told to put it back on once, but only a matter of time! :cop:
