you'll get pulled over so much that you'll be back on normal plates quickly.

legally i can't remember exactly which year you can have these upto but i think it is 1973... good luck!

erm......the police?? :?

old skool plates look cool as f00k, might get me some.

Top Tip for you fella, screw your normal plates on as you used to, hen use velcro to fix the black and white plates to the original/legal plates.

When you get pulled.."Sorry officer, I've just been to a meet which was off the public road and I forgot to remove them" :wink:

not keen on them myself but each to their own...

the euro plate surrounds could come in handy. maybe a quick swap back to some legal ones if challenged could save a fine?

Got them on mine now, I think it gives a white, silver or black car a really co-ordinated look because the whole of the rest of the car is silver and black. I've got some normal plates in the car with sticky pads on them just in case I get pulled, but I only do a thousand miles a year or so in it so I'm not too worried
