Wow, you know your stuff mate. Would that mean any bog standard German style ones be illegal? I've seen a lot of cars with that style, in fact where I work a lot of people (namely chavs) have different fonts and logos and I've never seen anybody get pulled before

I am dubious to fit the plates now though, i'm guessing you can be fined for it

Cheers for the info

Depends who stops you. You may get a fine/points or just a warning. I love German plates, but also love not being pulled over by the rozzers.

My mate was pulled over 3 times for his :lol:

Nice car though, amazing what a facelift bumber can do!

i got a £30 fine, anything except british is illegal im sure in uk unless imported perhaps

Heh thats scary stuff, gutting. I always thought german style were legal (as i've seen a lot) but i stand corrected :D

I am going to risk it for now (knowing that info now I know some of my neighbours have illegal plates) but if i do get fined or a warning I will sadly have to take them off :(

Btw cheers derv power :) fell back in love with the car once I had the bumper fitted, only took me 2 years to get it painted and fitted lmao

Facelift bumper looks cracking, completely changes the car.

Good luck with the number plates, they look great. But as stated this is the UK and its stupid rules..

Thanks mate :D still shocked how good it looks, my mate did a brilliant job

So far so good with the plates, had them over a week and no problems, even passed around 10 police cars too, I don't think they're so bothered about it in the midlands which is funky

More recent pic (me trying to be artistic haha)

Cheers buddy :D good taste, i'll have to keep my eye on your thread to see the plates when you've got them

I'm gutted, I was down the builders yard the other day in the storage area, had a chance of getting some really great pics but because I wasn't in a good mood so I didn't. Oh well. Plenty more opportunities with the sun out lately :)

Cheers fella, it'll never live up to yours though :D i am trying to do as less modification as I can as I eventually want to move on to a TDi but theres always temptation around the corner heh, still got a few mods planned though:

Install my new amp
Get some foglights
Possibly a Facelift/Cupra back bumper (thats if i can get one cheap anyway)
