I ordered two sets of German style plates with stickers etc... on October 31st :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: Don't dare to put them on now - is it a fine PLUS 3 points ?

No its just £30 but still costs a lot, once you have been pulled a couple of times and warned you get known in the area and get pulled constantly and fined £30 for the pleasure :rolleye: :rolleye:
I did it for about 11months but cant afford to be pulled, as far as i am aware they are more bothered about the spacing rather than the font.

Chris - Your excellent pics show the undoubted very high quality of your new rear plate. But personally I just don't get the enthusiasm for any metal plate on a car of the current era. On a Mk2 GTI, yes, but not a Mk5.
Just my opinion and the point is that you enjoy them :happy2:
You need one of these : -

LOL, are you calling me a 'sexy babe' !!!? :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:
Yeah, I see your point... lets just say that I am trying to bring back some of the pierre de resistance (spelling?) and character of the original Golf to my car! :smiley: :smiley:
Hurdy:
Hmm,
Like the plates, but is the yellow background reflective as per legal requirements?
I'm waiting on my first pull from the plod for mine.
Apparently I have a holy trinity of no-no's on my plates
1. Ghosting in the background
2. VW Decal on the edge
3. Border around the edge
They will stay on though as long as I don't get pulled too often :happy2:

Providing you don't muck around with the letter spacing and it's in a legal font, ANPR will read it correctly and you shouldn't get pulled just for that. Annual MOT will be a different matter though.
:happy2:

I ran german plates for 2 years then two board traffic cops came off the toll road and made a bee line for me £60 fine thank you very much :angry015:
