German style number plates

Featured Replies

Hi is it legal to have a German style number plate in the UK (i.e. with the 'D' on the left in stead of the 'GB')?

Cheers

*Also could you post a good site to buy from if you know any?

Thought so but what about 'DUB' and GB ones? Just read they need retroreflecting material, do you know where I can get hold of these?

You won't get much help here mate, it's been covered a lot of times.

I believe there's only 2 manufacturers in the UK who make legal pressed plates.

You are only allowed to have the GB emblem

Retro-Reflective

Of Plastic Construction

Spaced Correctly (AB12 ABC is ok, AB1 2ABC isn't; A123 ABC is allowed, A12 3ABC isn't)

Using UK Font

UK / EU / No country flag - other emblems (like VW badge) not allowed

BSAU 145D marked

If you have the D band, you're effectively saying your car is registered in Germany, so if you get pulled by the cops, be prepared to be asked for your German License and other docs.

NO

Covered to Death

Dubmeister do legal pressed plates.
