DVLA are the only place which will tell what's legal and not.

Yes there's a letter and font requirement plus a minimum border, DVLA make it so silly stupid to understand, they relaxed some rules recently but remember they still have this one.

actually THEY are correct and they are doing their job for pulling you.You MUST fit a UK sized plate unless the bodywork etc prohibits the fitment of a UK sized plate.
There's no MR2 I've seen which can't fit a UK sized plate on the front as there's no moulded recess for an import one.
You just can't argue on this one, it's in black and white what is legal, whatever you get away with outside of this is your own doing.
The argument about other wrong doings is immaterial unless you abide by the law.
They have every right to pull you on a plate if it does not meet the DVLA spec verbatim
