   I'v looked on a couple of sites, and it's not really that clear, some say they have to be reflective etc, but i can't imagine pressed plates to be very reflective.
   Whats the law on them?

   dubmeister and a few other places do legal ones, if they have some marking thing and postcode of where they were made at bottom of plate then they are legal

    The "UK Legal" ones are £15. No idea if they're pressed or not though, check it...

    I think so long as the font/spacing is correct and they're reflective they're fine. Much more sense to have metal plates which can't crack/split etc. Other country's have them. why not the uk?

    Lol. I've made a few vinyl plates for some guys before. I warned them before that they were illegal. They were pulled a few weeks later
