Mouse Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 My new UK pressed plates arrived last week, I've been itching to get them on since having to put on those horrible VW plates I bought two years ago. I now prefer the plate on the bumper much better now, although ideally no plate would be the best. Anyway some pics... Random Macro shot: Old and new plates: No front plate 8-) New plate on: Time for a drive: Cairn O Mount road - just couldn't resist: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Ouch: And I had a little bit of an accident, pretty pissed off to say the least: Boulder + lowered car don't mix. Totally didn't see it when parking up to get a photo then all I heard was an almighty grinding noise...ahh well, back to the bodyshop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 You really do know where to take photos/ have a drive don't you Sorry to see that damage, damn random acts of :dung: Shame you have to have a plate on the front, almost negates all the smoothing. At least your new plates look much better than regular/ old ones. I've thought about getting some pressed plates, but can't be bothered with the chance of getting pulled.

Mouse Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'll see how long until I get pulled. Aberdeenshire cops don't like dodgy numberplates up here lol. Although I did have my German ones on for 9 months before having to take them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_ Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Looks great, are they dubmeister plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 No they don't look like DubMeister plates. Cos DubMeister pressed metal plates are legal, and have their details and postcode on, and crucially are BS stamped aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I've got the naughty illegal ones off ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 You could've got the nice legal ones for about £30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I know, I discovered that two days after I ordered them. Ahh well, hopefully I'll be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 DubMeister pressed metal plates are legal, and have their details and postcode on, and crucially are BS stamped aswell. Are they? I thought they were kinda technically legal, being that they fullfill all the criteria, but they're actually illegal because they're not plastic and the same as everyone else's? Might have to change my mind on pressed plates if that's the case... I need some new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yep, it's been discussed over on Seatcupra.net, and the upshot of it is that DubMeister are convinced their manufacture process, document check, material / construction etc. are all correct and they're bs stamped accordingly. No one has managed to be stopped by a police yet to try it out, but apparently if they're bs stamped then they're legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Sorted, just checked the website and can see the new section on "legal plates" so I'll be ordering some of those soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Looks good without the front plate I like the pressed plates, look good. There is a Range Rover Sport around the corver from me and it has Silver on Black pressed plates on a black car - looks great (if a tad illegal).
