I will admit, they do look the dogs danglies on the right type of car but I don't think it's worth the risk (IMO). My plates have got some stupid chavvy italic font (bought for me as a present
), and I can't wait to get rid of them. MOT is due next week so we shall see if she passes with them on. Is it legal to change the "GB" banding to something else i.e. "D", even on standard plates ???

I thought the black and silver ones are now illegal? As I wanted a pair and they said we can't as they are outlawing them

i like pressed plates, but i like them with no band. if it has to be banded then get a gb band at least cos that the country your in!!

Ha if the police had a problem with them being dangerous because they're metal pressed...then why would pretty much the rest of the world have pressed plates as normal?
