Just wondering but is it legal to have German EU plate on a british registered car

or is it just an invitation to get pulled over by plod more often ?

[terrybullwon]

we are all part of the EU are we not?

I had the german style plates on my Passat (with 18"s and dual LOUD exhaust) for over a year and was never stopped. That included regular M1 and A1 driving too.

I could of course just been lucky, last time I was pulled was going through a series of bends a little too enthusiastically in an Alfa 146 (with standard plates BTW - purely down to the style of driving... Not speeding, just got a caution :mischeif: )

anyone here got a telling off from the police for these style plates?

[terrybullwon]

not yet, theres a few about. Seen a few cars with black and silver ones like the old classics.

I like the door builds. Are they custom jobbies?

Yeah they are, perfect match you cant even tell they are not ome but you cant get your hand in that part of the side door pocket oh well

They are technically naughty, but my view is that because they are clearly legible only the most pedantic / bored / frustrated copper is going to bother pulling anyone with a german style plate.

Most would probably assume it's a german car anyway unless their attention was drawn to the car for another reason. :mischeif:

I'm sure they'd be more interested if the plate was hard to read or spaced in a way as to suggest different characters (naming no names ).

Oh also i got a new forge DV, Bit of bling really!

Got nicked for running a white plate on the back (30 quid on the spot), but as long as the back plate is yellow , German style plates should be fine.

My friend got a on the spot because his winch takes up all the room on the front bumper and his plates on the bonnet.
