Was gonna order some plates with VXR logo on, searching online went to http://www.createmyplates.com/ they have this message:
From the 1st November 2008 it will be illegal to supply show plates with a registration number on it. The DVLA consulted many of the registered number plate suppliers late last year regarding the status of the "show plate" and how to make it legal by marking them with a logo showing them as "show plates", the DVLA did not want to put any of the many number plate suppliers out of business because many number plate suppliers were dependant on the showplate trade. Then in August this year the DVLA and government decided that show plates would be illegal to supply if it was supplied with a registration number on it, they also stated that the supply of show plates with names, clubs and the like was ok and legal providing that it was not a registration number. We have decided to supply only the components being the acrylic will contain the design/artwork as before but the registration will be supplied in component form for you to apply yourself. If you can apply a sticker to a window then you can as easily apply the registration, if you cannot stick a sticker on a window or any smooth flat surface then this system isn't for you. We are now only supplying what you can already get legally over any counter/internet store.
So anyone know if police are clamping down etc?!
Know they arent strictly legal - but i see loads around with logos on, so thought why not till i saw this.. and www.myshowplates.com seems to be "off line".
