   No they wont be if they have the F symbol.
   
   You'll need them to have legal spacing, be reflective and have a postcode of where you bought them from.
   
   Search for the group buy (i think Predator_VTR is / was organising). Hes doing a group buy for some legal pressed plates.

   I think there legal, mine passed the MOT with them and ive driven behind and infront of police plenty of times. Aslong as you get them from the right place there fine, search dubmeister.

   Unless its standard Halfruads plates where you show your log-book .... No their show plates but I went Ohhhhhh about 3yrs with mine like this and sailed through 3 MoT's
   
   
   
   
   
   Like most things depends on the tester on the day, also the same goes for the Fuzz, if your driving like a Cock and give it the barry their pull you for everything including the wrond air-freshener but thats just my personal experience
   
   Just luck of the draw, oh and mine where from Craigs-Plates, excellent service

   Cheers for the info guys, i'll go into a few shops in town that do automotive parts and see what they say about replacement plates, and hopefully they do pressed steel ones

   I use either 'back to black' or 'Autoglym Bumper Care'... it lasts just over a week on my car.
   
   You can get them both from Halfrauds
