plates..

[Glenn]

i am wanting to get new number plates with the england badge in the corner..

i have tryed gtgrafix.com just wonderin if anyone else can recommend somewhere else..cheers :grinning:

 

[Jim]

i didn't think any flags other than the EU flag was road legal?

 

[Jim]

ok, i stand corrected, from the dvla website:-

The Government announced on 28 December 2001 the intention to permit the display of national flags and symbols on vehicle number plates.When the regulations are amended they will provide for the voluntary display of the Union flag, Scottish Saltire, Cross of St George and Red Dragon. Football team crests etc are not allowed.

[Jim]

[Jim]

old style plates are illegal on cars made after 1973 or something. i know coz i looked into it for my mates mini.

 

[JayY]

hehe the law is full of crap

i wanted a white plate on the back of my car but NOOOO......

 

[lsi_dean]

so is this legal?

for the civic

 

[Jim]

no

 

[Glenn]

that site didnt really have what i was lookin for, any other sites?! cheers..

 

[lsi_dean]

no

oh
bit pointless then isnt it

 

[Jim]

they sell them because they know people will still buy them. some know they're illegal but don't care, but some don't realise they are, which i can understand as ones like that don't look particularly illegal i.e. they're legible!

but they'll say they're for "show use only".

 

[Dean]

have you looked on ebay!!! as i think there's some companies on there

ahh thank you

i was thinking of getting some plates made up for show use, something like a red motorbike plate saying "NeX" but it's not worth the hassel having to change the plates over all the time.....

 

[Glenn]

can i just check this plate is legal, before i order it!

i think it is..well i hope it is lol

 

[danni]

i thought it had 2 av a manufacturers name on it?

From what was said above that seems to be legal...

i am pretty sure that should be legal, you will just need to scroll through the dvla's website on plates and what not..

my dad might be able to sort me out plates for about a tenner, but he aint sure if they do it with the GB flag..or wether they just do it with the EU flags..i will see 2day!

you have square plates on cars, like landrover plates. motorbike plates are slightly smaller
