Number Plate

[Ski]

There was a SWEET looking s2 avant in Tims garage with pressed steel plates (well, that the closest description) , euro style ones, where the digits came out of the plate 3d style. I hope u guys know what I mean.

Are these legal ?

they look it, they reflect, yellow and white as it should be.. but are they legal ?

I dont think they were the pre 1970 plate, they looked european style.

Here is the link to current UK regulations!

I can't say I noticed anything about raised letters being a problem?

dont suppose anyone got an idea where i can order such a plate?

In the Q&A section:

Are 3D characters allowed?

Registration numbers and letters must be black and non - reflectable. 3D characters are allowed provided the number plate complies with the British Standard specification (BS AU 145d).

This would appear to confirm legality but don't quote me on that!

Not sure where it would be possible to obtain these plates now, it's a totally different manufacturing process.

To be honest, if they're heavier and harder to clean, I don't see the point!!!

I like the style on dubs, but im not sure it suits the S2 to be honest.

@ Jeffer: If they're light as hell, I do see the point of them!!!
