Number plate issue. Advice needed.

[buell]

I have been on a website looking at a new number plate,
Its the fonts, can i have them in a carbon look or do they have to be plain black. :?
I want to stay legal so no problem with the size.
Cheers

Basically, if the plate does anything at all that you like, it's probably illegal ;) But most people find that as long as you don't take the mick, it's a relatively smooth ride. Mine is a bit smaller than legal but otherwise looks much like the real thing- proper font scaled down a little, small borders, nothing that makes it particularily hard to read. Never had so much as a comment any time I've been, er, involuntarily talking to society's protectors ;)

But fi you put on a single line, or a tiny one, or anything with different colours or fonts, you're far more likely to get your collar felt. It does tend to work itself out in a fairly logical way.

If you scroll down on the above page it will tell you requirements for motorcycle registration plates.

Bear in mind ANY deviation from the above is illegal.
