Tinted Plates
Does anyone know where you can get these tinted style plates made?
I've saw a few cars at central day with them on and really liked them, are they road legal?

Of course they are illegal.
According to the law, number plates should be made by an authorised establishment, with the correct lettering/spacing etc and with the name/postcode of the company that made them at the bottom. If the Fed's stop you and the plates are not in spec and they have the makers details on them, they are in the shit. If they don't have the makers details on, you'll get a VRN I'd imagine.
Of course, people do ride around with illegal plates everywhere, so try your luck?

As above light window tint film is used on them, used to make quite a lot of these but not anymore really.
Not sure what they would look like with tint spray, probably too dark.

I got told you can get 3 points on you license for having a dirty numberplate by a panda cop and a traffic cop pulled me for it and wiped it clean for me, he said all you get is a £30 pound find but he let me off and gave me a fine for no seat belt instead!
