I was just generalising.
But even so, is it worth taking the risk that plod might give you a tug to debate the logo?

Number plates, legal or not?!

I didn't know they were illegal until someone told me a few days ago, I asked for them making and they made them.

Right,
Now that I'm doing my IAM Advanced Driving test I ought to get them changed..
New questions though..
1) Can I have them legally without a flag on the left?
2) Can I still have my name on the bottom legally?
3) Can I still have a black outline legally?
Thanks,
Dom

Yes to all, or demonplates.co.uk break the law on a daily basis.
They're show plates
so not road legal. You cannot easily buy road legal plate online as they need proof of ID and right to purchase the plate (V5C).
Considering they ask you for your reg doc and copy of your license they're not show plates as far as I'm concerned. Scan and send by email, done.
I need a definate answer on this guys.
Need them ASAP for this test, otherwise I fail.

Quote from DemonPlates website:
"From the 1st November 2008, the manufacture of 'show plates' became illegal. Before this it was illegal for somebody to use 'show plates' on the UK highway. Now it is illegal for any company to manufacture a number plate which displays a VRM (vehicle registration mark) which does not comply with current legislation. We no longer make or sell show plates"
To me this says that any option they provide is considered to be street legal.

Ah right. Didn't know they done it that way.
Still not legal IMO to have you name along the bottom at that where the name / post code of the company need to go, in the middle and iso code bottom right I believe.
How about this one? http://www.theplatemarket.com/display_of_registration_numbers.php
Confirms that the badge part is not allowed but everything else seems to be kosher.

That'll do! Thanks.
I need them and the car to be 100% legal for this test.
EDIT - Where's the thanks button gone!?

Other options at the bottom. Doesn't state that having you own name is allowed.
The ball is in your court not mine
Using common sense, plate has to have name and post code of maker on the bottom and be BS marked. Now where is that going to go if you get a load of other stuff stuck on it.
Have you checked the VOSA website

Bottom right.
Tried, it's in complicated law speak and my internet connection is absolutely sh*t.
