The surrounds will be fine.

Although those 'German' pressed plates wouldn't be if you are stopped.

^^^^ never had one on the front and I now have a smoothed grill and a small personal plate so no idea TBH but I'd say no. Take the plinth off and put the surround on instead of it, easy enough to try.

Such numberplate surrounds are perfectly legal and don't let anyone else say otherwise. Nothing in legislation states you must have a plate surround not you shouldn't. Clearly though it must not block and views of the plate. I've got one on my golf and I also have LEGAL pressed plates. I have a whole document relating to legality of pressed plates in the correct circumstances if anyone wants it (off topic I know sorry). I can back all this up with fact and through my own work/experience.

MC71 - i'm gunna stick my private plate on which is 5 digits. I'm gunna stick a smoth front grill on and relocate the plate somewhere but can't find a place it isn't blocking an air intake!! Out of interest where's yours? (Sorry, off topic again I know :()
