Now im at a laptop with a proper keyboard and not one of those minute postage stamp touch screen "smart phones" which require the fingers of a 5 year old to avoid mashing the wrong key and taking 45 mins to upload via the poor mobile phone signal at work GPRS mobile internet in this day and age :bang:
I tried my hardest to do my homework before ordering..

Just to lay some back ground the original dealership supplied plates weren't too clever either they had shoved the upper margin to under the 11mm cut off so they could fit their "snazzy" company logo at the bottom of the plate
that 10.6mm reading is right to the edge of the chamfer rather than the flat of the plate which is closer to 10mm which i realised was not overly clever
And the YTS mechanic at the dealers had put them on the car on the wonk and rammed the drill through the hole with force and blown the laminate off the back and over the past year the screws had begun to rust coupled with the muck and wet of my regular back road commute had began to alter the appearance of the lettering, So rather than go via the do it again in 12 months time i started looking about for an alternative and came across the plates i ordered from Elite.. (which incidentally were delivered to the registered address
)
Anywho I placed my order and they arrived.... and i posted my thread on here
I had done as much homework as i could prior to ordering
You mention the reflectivity as the sticking point due to your past case / knowledge of a case. What plates were these were they the standard VW/ Audi sporting German style plates?
I have a look on the producers website (not who i ordered from but the supplier of the blanks (they also make plates) a company trading as EUROPL8
http://www.europl8.net/
to quote their website
We are pleased to announce, our UK spec 3D Embossed License Plates have passed the relevant BSAU 145d testing and are 100% legal for use on the public highway. All legal plates will have a BSAU 145d mark and the sellers mark laser etched onto them.
From 1st November 2008 it is against the law to supply show plates to UK customers which contain a UK registration number. So we have withdrawn this option.
Europl8's online plate ordering facility is now only available to registered trade suppliers, who can be located via the Find Supplier link. Additionally plates may be ordered directly from Europl8 as per the Order By Post section, subject to the supply of certain legally required documents.
All plates carry a 12 month guarantee.
Sadly i cant really afford the £96 to pay HMSO for a copy of this
