I think on the basis of me driving a Skoda, having wellies on and a dog in the car meant they let me go with the instruction to grow up

I take it the dog wasn't wearing its hoody at the time!

I've only been pulled over once, upon finding out I actually WAS the legal owner, had insurance, had tax and my tyres were legal he sent me on my way.

I've never had much trouble from them around here tbh.

They're just doing there job, everyone's a lil' cranky when they're at work right? Wouldn't take it personal jase. You can be a boy racer not matter what car you're driving. My mate used to drive his dad's volvo estate and he was called it by all and sundry.

Did anyone think that prahaps the pressed plates were legal? :-) got my eye on some.

they are not legal, they dont come with the BS mark which is required by law. seemingly its to do with the reflective properties of the pressed metal ones which i find a lot of crap as they seem to me to be class 2 reflective which is the required standard of UK plates. even so, no british standard mark, no legality.

I think the main problem is the fabia vrs is becoming cheaper and more and more youngsters are able to afford them and they too are now looking for something new as the Paxo is quite out of date.

I met a guy who had recently bought a fabia vrs and he turned up with his tracksuit bottoms turned inside out and halfway down his ar$3 and had both his headlights and foglights on and stereo blazing (boom boom boom boom) at mid-day. :thumbdwn:

It's the same for the mk1 Octi vrs owners, they've been noticing for quite some time now that the Octi vrs is being bought cheaply and being thrashed around by people who are boy-racers and not enthusiasts. just check out youtube, theres a couple of blokes in Leeds who should be locked up before they kill someone by there idiotic racing on the roads.

Personally I agree with the stealth approach and in a non vrs, theres nothing more amuzing than leaving a vrs behind on the motorway in a standard looking car not that I've ever tried that sort of thing before you understand.

mines arent metal tho, they are a compressed foam pvc material which i use for signs covered with reflective sheeting to conform to the correct standards

they dont like stone chips at the front as they can dent the plastic but on the whole its a legal way of having illegal looking plates. also there is no gap between the band and the plate, its done with the plate as one and simply cutting the band off with a stanley knife then sticking it tight against the plate on the car so it gives the appearance as all as one yeah i could certainly make a set up for you if you wish.

PM'd

lower prices, sporty image and group 9 insurance = boy racer potential.

That said, round my way I never see any physically modified ones, and those I do see are driven by pensioners!

Dubmeister - Where performance meets style! < legal pressed plates

They are far from legal

thats naughty then! Advertised as "uk street legal". I think trading standards would have a field day.
