Number Plate Colouring

Can you post a pic and we can tell you?

Have a look at this link:

CLICK ME

or this one:

CLICK ME AS WELL

The second link is very informative and does go on to say that any other letters apart from standard ones are illegal. If the letters are the correct font and correct size then they should be ok.

If in doubt... get a proper basic set put on to stop any risk of getting stopped caught or even losing the cherished transfer itself.

The law states that,

* You must not alter, rearrange or misrepresent the letters or numbers
* Characters must not be moved from one group to the other (e.g. A242 ABC must
not be displayed as A242A BC).

Offences may result in any or all of the following:

* A fine of up to £1,000
* The registration mark may be WITHDRAWN
* The vehicle may FAIL the MOT test

Hahahaha.... I have a personal plate as well and I dread the thought of losing it or getting fined should I have it spaced correctly (it's not though BTW!!)

I expect nothing less from a fine law abiding citizen such as yourself!

Whilst we're on the subject there was one question I was going to ask you. I plan on getting a private plate in the near future and whilst not changing spacing or font of the plate, I was wondering if the plates you can get with the logo on the left hand side in place of EU for example are legal?? I've a sneaky feeling they are not but thought I'd check anyway.

From a website I looked at earlier...

* A non-reflective border and the Euro-symbol with the national identification letters are optional additions *

* The Government announced on 28 December 2001 the intention to permit the display of national flags and national identifiers on vehicle number plates. The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 are in the process of being amended. They will provide for the voluntary display of the Union flag, Scottish Saltire, Cross of St George and Red Dragon. Football team crests etc are not allowed. *

The last bit would mean car logo's as well so I would say it's illegal sorry fella

I think he meant "should I NOT have it spaced correctly" - at least that's how I read it...

Well, I'm sure at some point you must drive it to work, and I can't believe it would have lasted long in the "work" car park, had it not been legal!

Precisely.. and I am lucky enough to have a reg number that doesn't need any spacing done to it... its suits me as it is
