Pressed plates
Discussion
Hi,
I have a personalised plate and was thinking of buying a 'pressed' set for both longevity and look.
I understand some companies offer fully legal pressed plates.
Has anybody got a recommendation or anything to think about that I may not have.
Car is an Elise. Back is not a problem, I'm still thinking on the front....

(a)the British Standard specification for retroreflecting number plates published on 15 January 1998 under number BS AU 145d(1),
or
(b)any other relevant standard or specification recognised for use in an EEA State and which, when in use, offers a performance equivalent to that offered by a plate complying with the British Standard specification,and which, in either case, is marked with the number (or such other information as is necessary to permit identification) of that standard or specification.

Steel is not retroreflecting. Would be interested to hear if these "road legal" companies have in their T&Cs that they comply with "the spirit" of the Law, rather than being 100% legal. Like whether they would pay your FPN for you if you got stopped...VEHICLES REGISTERED AND NEW REGISTRATION PLATES FITTED ON OR AFTER 1ST SEPTEMBER 2001 (MANDATORY SPECIFICATION)

Pressed plates are completely legal.
