   Hi guys, I have seen a couple of you with pressed metal registration plates (french style).
   Does anyone know where to get them made up?

   Be careful if you use them driving around on public roads, can get a £30 fine if caught with them on your car.

    the plates are definatly not legal in this country, no matter what anyone says.
    
    however, i had them for over a year, never had any trouble at all with them, had 2 mot's in that time, was stopped a few times and police never mentioned them, and they were F banded.
    
    the only ones i have heard of people having issues with are the ones with a 6 or a 9 on them, as there is a gap in the number?
