Well not really because your car came with a fully legal numberplate in the first place didn't it?

Just to clarify - if your plate is fully legal but does not have the post code of the plate manufacturer and your car is pre 2001 - you are fine. You do not have to buy new plates.

Lets have a number plate rebelion....style over function...where bigger really isn't better

carbon style std font are legal! so are 3D style and highline, thats it

There's a mandatory standard font

However, AFAIK for the MOT you can affix a legal one over your chavtastic monstrosity and you'll pass, even with a couple of elastic bands
