   Metal are no longer legal, (unless your car is pre 1972) they have to have a certain reflexive coating which metal cant do.

   pressed metal plates have always been legal. just retard coppers dont know it.
   
   i'm annoyed about it at the moment as i got a fine for mine and i have had to prove to the police that they are legal even thought the dvla say they are legal!
