As I said I can't understand at all why I should advertise someone else's business on my car for no benefit as for the bs number that is only there to show it meets all standards , a cop checked everything and it did so why should it matter
Because it's the law...?If it's on there then you won't get pulled as cops can straight away see it's compliant.

Just read through some of this thread.
I had to then google images of tinted plates.
Can someone explain to me what they're for and the benefit of having them on a car, I just can't see why people want them.
You can buy a gel to tint your existing plates, amazing what you learn, but I'm still not sure why you'd want to do so.
I may be missing something here.....sorry if I'm being a bit dense here..!

It is like putting dark stockings over your head if you are a bank robber. Everyone knows you are a criminal, but can't work out exactly who you are.Bring back it being compulsory for burglars to wear stripey jumpers and bags marked SWAG. Made things so much easier.
Don't ask me why but as I read the first few lines of this post I just knew the author would be a BMW driver. The cars are so easily Chaved & modified so as to look awful.
It also confirms why I would NEVER want to be seen driving a BMW however modern flash fast or even classic.
Once as a company car driver I actually turned down a Series 3 for a Honda & laughed all the way to the bank when I realised how little company tax I was paying compared to my snobby colleagues who just HAD to have a BMW. Truth was & is BMW is no longer a brand that is aspired to if you have made a success of your life.
And why rant at the police when in the full knowledge of breaking the law.
Why waste all that energy huffing & puffing about something you cannot change. Irritation anger & moaning posts won't change a thing.

Any car is easily 'chavved & modified so as to look awful'. Nothing to do with BMW. WJNB said:

So you bought a lesser car as you didn't like the other people that bought the better car?

Well this is true and I agree. But it does seem like you were 'irritation anger & moaning' about BMW drivers yourself! Why waste all that energy huffing & puffing about something you cannot change. Irritation anger & moaning posts won't change a thing.

Great post. It also confirms why I would NEVER want to be seen driving a BMW however modern flash fast or even classic.

So to sum up for those just joining.
A driver broke the law with illegal plates and got caught.
...and thought it totally unreasonable that he should have to comply with the law as it must be a breach of his right to be 'scene' or whatever nonsense it is now, so posted on here and got told he was being silly. He has now dissappeared again. A driver broke the law with illegal plates and got caught.
