German style pressed plates

Just been reading the thread below. Now I know this thread is from 2011 so have these plates changed since then? as the police mention that the steal pressed plates are not a retroreflecting material therefore ARE illegal

Scrubbing depends how low you go. At current setup I don't get any unless I have a very heavy load in the back.
Seal, I'd be surprised if they actually are road legal. But you never know..
Look at the description for the pressed plates..
now if you go look at one of the company's regular plates. It states:
Not trying to cause a stir or anything..just saying..
Btw, there's also no BS mark on your plates or postcode that I can see, if that's the case, they're definetly not road legal.

It clearly says there not but if you have GB on them they don't stand out like a sore thumb

LOL Seal.I did the same thing. Although my plates had the BS mark and a postcode (of sorts)..it said Dublin on them lol.
Got pulled by the cops, had a nice(?) discussion with them about the legality and they were adamant they were illegal for several Bullsh!t reasons and maybe one valid reason (the dublin marking).
They told me to get them changed and off I went. I ended up writing to the DVLA and Tayside Police to find out what was/wasn't legal.
It seems (and this is just my opinion from research) is that if you want to be sure you are road legal, the safest bet is Dubmeister since they are on the DoT's list of registered plate makers (unlike the majority of ebay or other website sellers). But no doubt if you find a jobsworth cop, you'll still get hassle even about the Dubmeister's. It just depends how much of a PITA he/she wants to be.

I think urs look fine,don't stand out to much,its when ppl change the spacing or fit smaller plates you'll get a tug
