Reading about those 2 plates reminds me that there's a lively thread here on T6F discussing grammar and spelling which you might also like to visit.

He's right you know (and also being too polite). Neither of those plates makes any real sense without a big leap of the imagination. Vanity's a strange beast!
Thank you for the reply and explanation. I am sorry for queering the image on your post, you were only replying to the original. I had seen the original and skipped too quikly to the bottom of the page with clumsey fingers on the mouse wheel and when I decided to go back and queery the plates, I had not realised that you had a copy of he origonal and I blindly just asked the questions on your post.
Where did you get that? I’m interested in doing the same but a bit out off that the rubber might smell, does it?
I’ve got the VW rubber front can liner and that does put a bit of a rubber smell in the van.

TBF it absolutely stinks. Rolled it out in the house to warm and settle. My wife walked past it and her latex allergy went nuts! The company state it’s non-allergic to humans, but it seems natural rubber is pure latex.
eBay supplier Ark-solutions.
I have asked for the MSDS, but it is not forthcoming.
It’s not going in the van.
Just keep telling yourself that!

They need the platemakers code (bottom right hand corner) - ie their ID on the database of authorised manufacturers, unless your plate was made before the regs were updated
I want one!!!
I ordered 3 more orange pleated blinds to finish the van windows after my test purchase worked for the rear window. Have to wait another 2 weeks now.
I will, if only for giggles! My expectation is an area with a lovely dusting of wet sand (one has to use dry) and wheels that are barely scratched!Make sure you post results
You know that bloke in the pub....you know the one....gets the joke 10 mins after everyone else and suddenly laughs out loud at it when everyone else has moved on?!!
Right now, I am that bloke!!!
*edit: but I’m still at the head-scratching stage!
I run smoked plates, black and silver plates and pressed legal metal plates although I don’t change the spacing I never have any problems
The primary reason for the regulation change was to improve the accuracy of ANPR - get rid of the “flashy” fonts, italics etc. I won’t bore you with the rationale for “authorised plate makers” etc.
Broadly speaking, the cops don’t mind so long as their clever little onboard box doesn’t ping. However, if they come across an idiot, they are perfectly entitled to scrutinise the plates.
