Nothing, just saying the nice touches like that always are illegal

Well DemonPlates sold them to me as being 100% legal, so if I get fined I'll just take it up with them
They cover all of the legal requirements - letter spacing/font/size etc and the manufacturers details are on there as well, so no-one can really complain

I think the reason that one is illegal is because it doesn't have the manufacturer details on it - the lettering looks spot on tbh. Also - curse those evil birds :shakefist:
Do these save any weight?

Doubt it, if anything they probably weigh more as the lettering (on mine anyway) is domed
They're illegal technically for 2 reasons -
1) The lettering should be pure black, being carbon effect they're not
2) the only thing that should be on the left side of the plate is the blue GB sign with the euro stars around it.
But basically as long as the plate recognition software the police use can read the plates you're fine unless you give the police the reason to come down on you like a ton of bricks or you've got an officer that's looking to be low on his road crime points target that month.

Mine does as its proper carbon fibre and a bit of sticky plastic on it
I'm going to have to pull my finger out and get my business set back up, I can make numberplates like this, if I get chance I'll have to have a play next week, see what I can come up with.
I think wood effect ones would be better! Tom gets let off (by me, if not the feds) cos his are real carbon.
Let off !!I remember you saying you muchly disliked carbon being used in silly places....non structual

it's not a silly place though, why use a heavy plastic or metal when a light piece of CF will do the job and save even more weight by not needing the black paint... oh a least 2g saved there!.. sorry that was OTT
Those carbon style plates do look good. But Tom...yours look pretty sikk haha. Where did you get those made up? or did you do them yourself? Cost?
