Looks fine. BS AU 145d is the correct type approval.

Sadly Clarence has had a bit of a run in with a pothole and is currently on a stand outside our house while the front passenger wheel is off to be repaired!
£160 for a new tyre, £25 for the fixing of the wheel, and £40 to repaint it... could be a lot worse, though!
(Also handy that guy who runs the body shop at the local VW van centre only lives around the corner!)

My understanding is that these are Legal, they have the BS stamp and the correct spacing I hope?
I agree, they have the correct BS mark so they legal.
I have heard of people being stopped because the plod say they are not made of reflective material. They are painted with reflective paint so must be ok, acrylic ones are only reflective due the reflective backing. I have a pair of pressed plates, not put them on yet, can't find any decent surrounds. I bought some Wolfsburg.de ones, but the holder doesn't fully enclose the perimeter of the plates.
So are you going to bill the council for the damage?
What's the process for this? What evidence would I need?
First Proper clean thought Id share
Photos of the hole you went down (I'd have done that straight away) & the damage plus the cost of a new wheel & tyre, did getting it repaired if they can't look after the roads they can pay for the repairs might get them to do something
Was the Mrs who went down it; didn't have an issue immediately it's only become apparent a few hours later that something was amiss when the TPMS flagged up an issue.
(Speaking of which the TPMS is pretty rubbish, it's the same on my Passat, gives a warning if one of the tyres is off compared to the rest by using the ABS system & wheel rotation, but takes ages before it actually twigs something is wrong, so is more of a conformation rather than an advanced warning)
Yep it's the cheap way of doing it, just taken delivery of a new Suzuki which has proper tyre valve sensors and reads the pressure on each tyre...,,
I have done this before and its tricky, you can only make a claim if someone has reported a problem and they have failed to rectify it in a reasonable time frame, problem is they wont volunteer info that someone has reported it.
Theres a website around somewhere (well there si for my local council) showing reported issues and the date they were submitted.
Then comes the issue of reclaiming money, mine would only pay out against a VAT invoice from a recognised main stream garage or main dealer so you can only attempt a claim if you pay top dollar for the repair but you wont even know if you can claim untiol after you have paid out so it was a bit of a catch 22
This is the one I use FixMyStreet
Like that @Roadrunner , seems that where I live is just covered in dog poo.
Bit like around here then 
Just out of curiosity is yours a 66 plate??? Many thanks
