Pressed Plates

[J0N]

Are the German style Pressed number plates legal in the U.K? I know they're clamping down on dodgey spacing and the like.

Look at www.dubmeister.co.uk they do UK legal pressed plates.

As above, these do uk legal plates but you need to provide documents and id, check on dubmeister for your closest dealer

Dont always read too much into those local dealer people and distances as it states mine is 100+ mile away when its much closer to 10.

there was a thread on this not too long ago. I bought a set from the plate man on ebay. the ones I bought are pressed, german font. Because I bought them as 'show plates' then I didnt have to show any documents, despite the fact that if I had chosen to have uk font they would be perfectly legal.

Nope, surely not. Otherwise there would be no point in requiring details!

I want some german fonted ones, but I'm sure as soon as I put them on I'd get stopped

I like this plate builder, the seller is on ebay somewhere, it has the best Seat badges to put on I've found so far. Not pressed though.

 

[LEE69]

Seat badge and german font, damn, your going for the kill aren't you

Haha no, it's either german pressed ones, or acrylic ones in UK font with a Seat badge and slogan at the bottom ('seatcupra.net')?

Less likely to get pulled with the UK fonted acrylic ones though even with the badge, bloody police

 

[LEE69]

I got pulled for my german ones, once you have paid a£30 fine, they tend to lose their appeal

 

[1L19]

Tell me about it! I've heard you can get points as well, I'd be more worried about those

 

[LEE69]

Was over a year ago i got done, so i guess it as changed.

hobbiniho... thinking about it I dont know about the extra detail - I never looked into because I was getting the german font! Sorry mate!

I think in Berkshire the max penalty is a £2000 fine and 6 points, ouch! doesnt really seem worth it so I took mine off.
