New Plates and Wheels!!! :D

[jaybro187]

Love the plates but scratch my head of them being legal. Not for the spacing but cos they don't look reflective. Can u get these reflective to conform with uk laws?

They're illegal whether they're reflective or not, because they are standard UK font and have a disallowed logo on them for a UK registered car.

Look cool as hell though imo

I have them same, not sure if they're reflective or not because ive never been behind the car when driving it! Think they are though!

Looks awesome!

Ok uk font reflective pressed plates (if even poss?) then legal?

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

I believe so! As long as they arent illegally spaced, no strategically placed black screw caps etc etc etc.

This was taken from :http://www.regtransfers.co.uk/main/car_numberplates_regulations.asp

This may sound stupid, but why do the cops pull you over for these if some websites state they are fully road legal?

Wheels are great and plates nice mate but not legal because they aren't the uk font. But if you can get away with it why not it is a Spanish car after all


PRATTY

I've got pressed plates now anyway. Got them at GTi Inters from Dubmeister.

100% legal and haven't been pulled as of it. So its all good.

Awsome looking car mate. what camera did you take the photos with. Awsome Quality.

Big respect mate, those wheels are perfect match

Wheels look real nice, but plates are illegal on all acounts, except the right colour for front and back lol

1) german font
2) non-reflective
3) wrong spacing
4) "E" for espanyol = illegal, only GB allowed IIRC (but 100% sure E is illegal )
5) no BSA stamping on the bottom of plate

I would change the plate if I was you tbh, as it'll stand out like a sore thumb.

But as said, car looks nice

 

[char_baby]

just get dubmeister ones, £30 for front and back.

Haha, I had to get them as soon as I saw the dubmeister stand at GTi.

They were on my RR thread but took them down as I didnt wanna show my plates for too long.

You can see what my surrounds look like in my thread.

Fair enough I don't have mine showing either. Look great though

Yeah they look good, had to drill some new holes for the plate surrounds though on the front. Think my step dad was a tad nervous to drill through a new car. He had a thorough check to prove to himself nothing was there lol.

Prefer the plates but not keen on the wheels. Sorry mate!
