footfistart Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 This should be in the right section. Does anyone know a trusty genuine place where I can get ROAD LEGAL 3d numbers played. Just visited the DVLA and it says that 3d is ok. So I'm after some 3d plates not printed 3d but 3d you can actually feel as the best as I could describe it. I'm sure some of you have done this. I would imagine I'd need prove of my car ownership for use of plates ect ect. Many thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 3D appearance I believe is legal but raised plates I believe are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 As long as the plates are BSAU145D compliant (spacing, logos, font), you will be fine. Stamped plates are legal as long as the font is substantially similar to the standard UK font (Charles Wright). Contrary to common belief, it is Illegal to sell "show" plates therefore all plates sold in the UK must be street legal. Anyone selling "show" plates can be prosecuted.

karlos1987 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 170927394026 Check the above out on eBay. Seems to meet all the above that Clive has mentioned Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfistart Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks for replies. I've seen like gel overlays best I can describe it. Are they legal as I've also seen carbon ones too. Reason why I am wanting this is one the laminated cover on the plastic plates are peeling away plus it's a nice suttle mod. Another question do the plates in general come with foam sticky pads? My plates are screwed to the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footfistart Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Brilliant I'll loom now thanks mate :) did you get pulled for it or anything at mots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfistart Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I've built the plates and they are around 43 For the pair. But a couple of things. Do they come with backing pads to stick them to the bumpers? And the letters come separately? Just abit confused are the plates flat or the letters are pressed out?

johnnyg Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 No mate they will come ready made to put on never got pulled but got knocked once on mot but I had carbon and they said letters had to be black so you should be Ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Make sure you order pressed metal plates and that they include the BS marking and they should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfistart Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Right and can I get the pressed ones from the same site? Yeah I'd rather the black ones over carbon as I don't want too much attention to cops or tea-leaves. At the bottom of the plates does it have to have the company name or anything of the sort or can it just be registration and that's it?

Stoney871 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The bottom of the plate must have the company name, postcode and BSAU145D.

johnnyg Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 They have to have maker and makers postcode and the bs number for them to be legal mate. Some make it small and some use is as a way of advertising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
