   as far as i know it will have to have the dubmeister logo on there along with another number on the right had side which is to show that they are road legal etc, this might just be for companies not based on the web as we have to have the name of our company on ours, not sure really, u should keep it as plain as possible, will look good that way imo

    See thats a lot of information on a plate true it has to abide by laws and that I might ring up Dubmiester and get them to walk me through it on the phone so i dont make any mistakes!

    na mate they will do it all for you, if it dosent come with one i wouldnt put it on your car. people always complain at work cos we need to see a photo i.d and a v5 to prove its for them, thats why the number plate should have where it was made so the police can trace it back , not that they have anything better to do of coarse

    Yeah i know When i bought my saxo my dad was driving he was being followed for about 30 miles by police and didnt even stop us which was the annoying thing because there was nothing wrong they just fancied following us to make sure we didnt go 31 in a 30 zone!

    The dubmeister logo and other relevant information is barely visible even up close. Its like the foil logo on your bank card but harder to see!
    Also why would you need the GB badge to be legal? 90% of cars on the road have just the yellow white background and relevant font. Why would you need the GB badge on it too?
    
    EDIT: Also forgot to mention that I recommend Dubmeister, very helpful! Easy to use website and really helpful customer service when they didn't receive my e-mail with v5 and drivers license the first time! Came quickly once they received my e-mail. Spot on really.

    As it turns out they have redone the site since I was last on and put in the small print way down the bottom of a separate page that the plates ae meant for show only . So much for them then. Sorry
