I know C3 LJG has these but just wondering if people have these and if so do you get pulled up for them, I know they are not technically road legal but how far can the law be bent ( i have been told you can get road legal ones to)??

theres no such thing as a road legal german plate in the UK

but it depends on spacing, the depth of the font and how much of a **** the copper wants to be

iv had mine ages and have been fine, but last year at GTi international there was abit of trouble so gonna be abit wery next week, should be fine though

theres so much searching you could have done! tut tut

Well they are E-gay ones lol! But look pretty straight just embossed metal with the german font. But you can also get acrylic plates with German style font now!
