well to be legal it needs to have the post code and the company who made them at the bottom, the bsau stamp on the right hand side down the bottom and the only thing your meant to be aloud on the left hand side is a euro flag thing, but yeah, doubt any policeman would pull you for it, text looks very slightly different perhaps but not suffieciant to get a pull id say

spoiler looks great thall touch in fine

As for the plates .... nothing wrong with them from a road legal point of view .... or am I missing something ?
I think it's the MG in the background????

Fairly sure - although traffic was never my strong-point - that all that stuff is for passing the MOT and not actually a traffic offence. All the cops would be interested in I reckon - is the spacing, size and style of the actual numbers and letters.

Back in the day - I used to give a tug to cars which didn't have garages details on the rear plate as it was a possible indicator of a ringer, but that was only a starter for 10 - never anything to get rattled about.

R8NMG will become famous soon enough
It is the MG logo on the plates that is illegal. But as the fonts are standard then you will very unlucky to get pulled by the police. There are alot more worse plates out there.

Pretty much bang on, but missed out the MG watermark in the background..

As said above though, it would be a petty traffic officer to pull you just for that.. Even if you did get pulled, they'd just give you a warning

i think if you where to get done for them, you woulda had to have done somthing else really bad they couldnt do you for so theyde do you for things like that instead, as you said though they would have to have had a bad day, like the police man who did the guy who blew his nose and another guy for dropping a tenner as littering lol.
