Pressed plates are illegal, unless used for show purposes. Wink

Just mind on that these are the DVLA regulations, which most pressed plates don't meet.

DVLA wrote:

When replacing your number plate you should make sure that the correct material has been used to manufacture the plate. It should be made from a reflective material. Front number plates must display black characters on a white background and rear number plate must display black characters on a yellow background.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is not aware of any self-adhesive number plates that meet the British Standard requirements.

Characters on a number plate can be 3D, providing they meet all the other requirements, but honeycomb or other background patterns are not allowed.

Also, the characters on a number plate need to be a standard height and width.

Your number plate should show the correct:

* character height - 79 millimetres
* character width - 50 millimetres (except the figure 1 or letter I)
* character stroke - 14 millimetres
* space between characters - 11 millimetres
* space between groups - 33 millimetres
* top, bottom and side margins - minimum 11 millimetres
* space between vertical lines - 19 millimetres

I would if I could! I've always wanted them but...

I don't need any more attention to my already illegally spaced numberplate lol. Touch wood though I've never been pulled for them once!

Legal

Illegal
