   I was thinking about getting a 3d carbon number plate as i think they look cool. And i was thinking buying some carbon stickers on my mirror caps as mine have faded.
   Im not sure what do you think??

   Number plate is illegal and will look wank.
   Why get stickers for mirror caps when you can get actual carbon fibre ones?

   the carbon fibre digit number plates are road legal. i double checked with local traffic officer when he ws out doing checks on our cars with VOSA. as long as they are standard shape font and format.

   they are legal, its just the letter spacings, height, reflectiveness and the banding that you have to look for

    I got my 3D carbon plates from there and they are fine. I have been pulled before with them on and they said nothing so I am guessing they are fine.
