    uk font, and they have the place that made them across the bottom of the plates, think you can just about see this in the pics. They're reflective aswell not sure whether the french and german font ones are or not.

    these are uk font and have the BS... number in the right hand corner(so they are legal)
    id still prefer to run the french ones as thats the whole idea for pressed plates
    but they dont look too bad

    They look really good mate. I was on Dubmeister's website the other day but was a bit confused as to go about ordering some. It tells you to put your postcode in and then comes up with like the nearest place to you that makes them.. Can't you just order them off the site and get them to deliver?

    Cheers

    I had to take mine to the nearest dealer, they then take down all your details, fax them to dubmeister, and your plates get posted to you the next day. Think thats the only way of doing it apart from posting your logbook and license off which i didnt fancy lol. i think its illegal to make showplates now, so i duno if you can still get the french font.

    brought a set 2day as well. went to my local dealer and they order them from dubmeister. hopefullyy i get them by 2moro. would prefer original frence plates but these look just as good and will save the hassle of getting fines and it complies with all the rules. i brought mine without the gb though.
