Read the UK plate regulations, the spacing is all correct with sufficient letter sizing and illumination is not subject to being deemed dangerous or inaccurate lettering. Many officers are un aware of the legislation behind these plates thats why they need educating. These plates also state the place of production and uk registered address. This makes them legal as also the letter cannot loss shape over time.  :booty:

In regards to the Mansory not being tacky thing, I think I've only seen one Mansory car that I like the rest are normally ugly as hell with silly bodykits and weird shiny bits on them, theyre far from tastful.

I do really like the xenon sidelights and the plates are definitely different, do they have to be on like that permanently or can the be normal plates and then you switch the lights on when you fancy it?

Definetly that because you get an internal kill switch that looks very Oem the plates both front and back with a very strong and rigid frame that has very little chance of deforming and falling off. And its obvoiously niche market because I havent seen any other GTI with these on. And I have been followed into car parks to be asked about what they are ? Oh and ps I did the website for them ;)

Very very true ! I like the only one its fitted to haha purple does it justice! Basically yeah when you want you can switch them on both front and back. Other then that you can drive normally as you wish! Its one of them things alot of positive feedback has been given but alot of people hammer it for no reason its something that they are working on atleast let them do it!

That's quite good then, I wouldn't want them on all the time but they would work sometimes. I wouldn't pay £200 for them but that's the fun of modifying cars, you do what YOU want to YOUR car and make it your own.
