my plate holder on the back:
David.
Have to say that looks good!! Will match the strip on the back.
The one that ive ordered is slightly different to that i.e the graphics along the bottom of the holder, but I like it. Will look better than drilling holes in the metal plates!
After looking at the plates on the above pics and hearing that neither has had any problems from the plod, i think i will be fine as the plates ive ordered are:
Reflective (like normal plates),
UK font
GB Banding.
The SEAT plate holder ive ordered is different to the ones above, mine is like this:
But i like it and think it looks good. And it will look better than drilling holes into the plates and having screws showing.

Got my plates and holders today. I cant wait getting them onto the car!!
The rear plate is a slightly darker shade of yellow but they look sooooo good.
Right should i put any of the sticky strip things onto the back of the plate to secure it onto the plate holder? Or onto the plate holder to secure it to the car??
Im interested to see what people have done.

The 'yellow' one is more orange than yellow I think 
My plate holder is secured onto the car (screws I think) then i've got stickys holding the plates on. I'd use velcro though, that won't matter about getting wet

did you add anything extra (sticky pads etc) to either the plate or the holder for extra strength?
no i didnt, juse as above drilled the holder into place. i drilled the front holes into the bumper too ...wasnt too happy about doing that but didnt want sticky anything on my bumper anymore as the person before used glue!!
david, wish i got that holder now ...
ive got the plane ones.
Mine are on order £35 2 x plates, surrounds and postage. Thought i got a good deal. Will i be able to screw the surrounds on with the old plastic screws currently on there, i ask because they have quite a thick head size ?
They will be the same look as david_mckellar's.

Im thinking of putting one of the sticky pads or something onto the back of the plate to give it abit more of a hold to the plate holder.
Would this be a good idea??

Yes, here's one from E38 this year.
I just use standard UK plates on the roads though....

That's still the German style font isn't it?
Done a bit of looking around, and yes, i think they are German lettering. The Spanish lettering is a lot more rounded.
Here is the best pic that i have of my plates at the minute:
Will get some better ones at the weekend.
That is uk font isnt it?

Nope - it's German mate. The key giveaway is the the '0' - it's got the slash cut out on it.
They look good though

My reg is only 5 symbols... do they make the plates shorter or are they the standard length?
I wouldnt want long ones.
