    Having the F or G on the plate makes them even more illegal than using the German font

    I believe that's correct OllieJolly. The pre 2001 font/sizing is different also... dunno if you can get the old style now.

    That's bullshit. You don't need your postcode on any plate at all.

    Can you find me it on the Direct Gov website as I'm struggling to find anything about it....

    I thought you meant your own personal postcode, not the supplier of the plate.
    
    But that's irrelevant anyway, because all you need is the reg in the correct format - like it says on the link I posted above.

    Link doesn't work. I've had many pre 01 cars which never had any sort of post code on the plate, and a couple of newer cars which didn't either.
    
    Well if it is true I think you'd have to be one unlucky motherfucker to get prosecuted over it....

    My '98 saxo had the postcode on and 2000 k11 had it on the plates too.
    
    Unless it's changed im sure you had to have the bd postcode on.

    Maybe I'm wrong then, but I've never heard of it and I can't find any info on it.
    
    What is the point though? Where the plate was made has no relevance to the car or owner.
