Anonymous Unregistered A	Ok seems to be a Fairly common thing to do on VWs etc to get a set of German Plates made up to the make the car look like its from the mother land! So i got a set of Italian Pressed Alloys ones made up for the front of the coupe. Wat do you think? yes or no? From Far Close-up Iain

Does that mean that if someone from Italy comes into the country there plates are illegal? Ross Not if they're visiting but if you import the car then it's supposed to be re-registered as a UK car and hence subject to UK rules = no Italian plates. Definitely illegal but I don't know if/for how long you'd get away with it. ACPO have recently advised not to prosecute bikes for small plates provided they are still clearly legible from 20m, but I guess that would be for standard font and layout. Tamper with the plate in any way and you're always liable for a tug I guess. Habeus Maximus V8 Nihilum

Pressed plates remind me of cleaning my dads lime green marina, now that is horrid $\:s$ $\:D$ $;\)$ and you did ask $\:D$
