   My pressed plates arrived today, and look awesome
   
   Unfortunately I didnt realise that you needed surrounds, I just assumed there would be pre drilled holes
   
   Obviously I dont really wont to drill holes in them, so anybody know where I could get the surrounds without having to order them?Really want the plates on today
   
   Cheers

   Im guessing quite a while as they are perfectly legal from Dubmeister
   
   I asked a question and was looking for an answer, which people have given me so thanks for that
   
   Why do you have to be a cock about it? Theres gettin to be too many people like you on Saxp tbh, just wanting to try and be clever instead of just helping people

   I wasn't trying to be a cock, just after going into lengthy discussion about the legality of plates here http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...ghlight=plates I never get why people still use them on the road

   Halfords have special "number plate adhesive pads" iirc which will be fine, got my plates fitted using those, no problems at all

    The only plates now legal in the UK are plates with the standard font, legal background, must have an address underneath of where the plates are from and the only logos aloud are the GB logo

    They seem to fit that criteria to me. Im sure companies such as GSF would not supply them and risk their good name if they were infact ilegal.
