i have these on my car & yes you will get pulled over but imo i had the car out the other week when we had that nice hot weather & was driving home from work down the m6 when a police volvo passed me i did think right better get ready to pull over, but they gave me the up & drove on thought wtf. ive really only got these for show use & will put the std ones over the black ones but when in the mood ill just use the black ones. think they look on black cars.

put them on, look spot on, had mine on for years now

seems shit that old cars can have them but modern cannot (nothing modern about a s2 mind ) same as little plates on bikes but not on cars? Nothing logical about it at all.

i have them for shows on my saff, have driven around on the roads with them before

if you get pulled just pleade ignorance and if you have the original plates in the boot, they will normally just let you swap em.

most police arent that bad round here

Also, if you get a bastard copper as so many are these days, it will give them the opportunity to go over your car with a fine-toothed comb.
