Default Black Number plates...

Does anyone know what the law say's about black number plates?

does your car have to be a certain age?

I've seen them on a series 1, a new-ish black corsa...

Not worth it in my opinion. Why get fined for the sake of number plates I know they may look cool but after it's cost ya another £30 for the fine is it worth it???
Couple of my mates got done for ickle plates on their motors so mine soon came off

Had them on my XR2i, he was more concerned when I was stopped about them not reflecting. Had them on the Cossie for a while but it aint worth it in my opinion, I was caught 3 times and let off twice
