   i know there have been 100s of threads about this recently but i cannot find what im looking for...
   
   basically, i bought some french plates for my old vtr from craigsplates.com no problems... i have just gone on there to get some pressed plates for my vts, and it is saying that i now need to send some documents to them before they are dispatched? anyone else had this? or know anywhere where i can get hold of some without doing this?
   
   cheers

   try www.dubmeister.co.uk mate, they do legal pressed plates as you can no longer use the french pressed plates

   ohryt they never used to
   
   Try searching for your nearest supplier of the plates and pop in and speak to them, they may have changed the rules and you have to supply the documents now.

   Just go on ebay and get them simple. And of course they are illegal if they are french plates, ive got pressed plates in a german/french font and have a D badge on but u can get almost any badge on them ie D, F, GB, GBG, GBJ, NL, I etc they arent legal but i dont give a s**t and the police dont care the amount of times ive had a copper behind me and they havent even noticed, i even had the police come out to my car after it got bricked and they went through the car with a fine tooth comb and didnt even mention the plates
