as long as a speed camera or the police's ANPR can see it it should be legal
will have to be same size and font and colour of a standard plate tho

i have seen cars with them on before theres a guy with an old ford probe down the bottom of my street he has had is as a sticker for years.
and i think the really old mazda mx5s used to come like that standard

Apparently they are no longer legal - check with an MOT tester if you are unsure.

According to a mate of mine, they are now deemed illegal.


But i only think that has changed recently....
