Is there a definitive answer anywhere on whether your plates are 'road legal'? I'm guessing the carbon effect are not, but the domed black ones are questionable. Checking the regulations obviously they must be a certain font, size and spaced right, but there's nothing about a size restriction on depth! As long as the background in white/yellow reflective and the black letters do no reflect light, according to regulations, should you be ok?

mintalkin Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 the carbon effect is legal as long as its 51% black and in the charles wright font, the plate is illegal because those type of letters/numbers are stuck on and not an intrical part of the plate so they could be peeled off and misrepresented by altering spacing and didgits with a pair of sissors and then reapplied,so the traffic wombles will pull you. the carbon effect can only be printed onto the reflector before the acrillic is applied. they should also have the name and postcode of the supplier on them as well as the bs mark.

Al J Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I must admit, I do like the idea of these gel overlays. May wait a while as my car is only a week old today! Are they easy to remove if you get fed up of them? Looking forward to the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very easy to remove they just stick over the original ones so when you sell the car and want to remove them just pull them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
