Sticking an E or BS marked band over the top of 'Not for Road Use' is illegal and is basically perverting the course of justice. You are not committing an offence if you simply remove those words from the can or stick something else over them. My MOT man tells me he'd fail a bike for having an aftermarket E or BS sticker/plate, but is happy to pass an unmarked can that is a bit too loud - he doesn't like people trying to take the p!ss out of him.
