It was during the early 70s when a reflective background requirement that is hard or impossible to achieve in a stick on plate was introduced. Thats the reason I understand them to be a potential risk from a legal perspective. Think its pre 72 or 73 you would looking at for a vehicle to wear them 100% legally.

reflective background for stick on-on plate is relatively easy to achieve -'engineering grade' reflective livery film is more than adequate , the the fact they aren;t made up then sealed and don't feature the BS marking that causes the issues over legality.

So would it be a bit cheeky of me to use proper film and letters, stick it to the base coat and lacquer over it? Can hardly be defined as temporary if it's under the paint!!

they'd still get you if they wanted as you aren't a registered numberplate maker and you can;t prove compliance with the BS standard .

as has beensuggested it'd take a particualrlty bad day for a correctly spaced correct font stick on plate to be thesole cause of pulling you over ...
