Italian Number Plate

So,

I've seen a few V Dubs with German style number plates, and i think it looks quite cool. Is it possible/legal to have a British number plate in an Italian style?

Its possible, lots of people have them, but its ILLEGAL

it looks goood

Ah yes...that looks really cool. Saw an alfa with them over the weekend. But where can we get them?

EDIT: Check this out. Good ol' ebay

I was thinking of it too, looks good with dealer badge.. say with a Rome address or something. or even the dealer next to the factory.
I am sure though that next year if a car has a non UK plate marking or boarder then the car will fail at MOT, I read that somewhere.

thats my car! lolz

yes its illegal, but ive never been pulled for it.. they are still reflective n that... just not spaced correctly.

i have a set of legal plates for MOT time

What you doing in the Stilo section?, get out!

its ok.. im spanning the models now... after tomorrow afternoon i can officially go in the bravo/a section

you bought your new car then

i post in a few sections .

I'm thinking of getting my hands on a Bravo HGT and playing about with it. I know where I can get a concours example for next to nothing.

Hi, do you ppl know if its still illegal to have an all standard GB plate but with an italy EU logo instead of the GB?

Seen a few golf's with german style plates on - kinda look ok

You're right Multiplewagon, if you take your car for an MOT with anything but DVLA approved plate format it's and automatic fail. Look forward to the next step where anything but the standard format plate will be a fine and 3 points!

im trying to get hold of proper german style plates for my dad, with the proper spacing and Stadt markers n stuff. its illegal.. more illegal than just having a D next to a steel pressed plate... but i think on face value (if a copper drives past) he can get away with it cos its a left hand drive BMW!

they need to be changed for the MOT for deff. i had a service on the sei and was told off for having the steel plates and pink side lights lol. just told they have to be changed before MOT

There's a local Golf (usually see him filling up at Tesco's) thats got almost original German plates - with the two circular stamps between the Nos and last 3 letters. Next time he's there I'll ask where he got them.
