Have you got a reference for this? I'd love to prove it true so I can stick my import plate back on :thumleft:

I ordered mine from craigs plates (import size) and they came with a recipt saying they were legal. :thumleft: which I keep in the glove box incase of any uneducated PC pools me over.

Im pretty sure uk number plaes, unless they have less charcters (personal reg) have to be the UK given size

Right...I was kinda hoping to a link to the DVLA to prove it, something a bit more official.

And you say the cops are happy with a receipt? Not sure I want to risk a penalty on that basis :-k
