Default black plates

I've been very lucky i think, they've been on mine for months and i've been pulled over twice and they've never mentioned it, i think it depends on the police officer really.

ea, unless the car origanally came with the plates they must be the standard white and yellow. You can use them as show plates no problem. My mate even got pulled for having pressed plates on his 106.

The size and the tint are both 'illegal'. I had several fines for a small plate on a previous car..
