Out of interest what sort of quotes did you get for professional plastics? I'm dying to get mine done but terrified to do them myself.

Out of chesterfield....illegal Plates attract unwanted attention.

In chesterfield I have seen all sorts, from wrong way round letters to 20cm spacings to pink and white plates. If you was to go through Sheffield/Mansfield/Derby with such plates you would be pulled straight away.

If it wasn't illegal I would have R 12YBO instead of R12 YBO. Been tempted at times but can't be arsed with hassle what comes with it as I travell all over place.

My plate is spaced illegally and haven't had an issue, had them for years

I'm guessing some of you guys must live in areas where the police don't use ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras? As illegal plates confuse them then it would be picked up very quickly, and here I know I wouldn't even get into work without getting pulled over by the police.

shuttle difference?

It depends, my brother in law used to have the 8 on his moved across so it said 8OBS- his name is Rob so it like like Bobs

anyway he got stopped all the time and had to change them so just left them off in the end- some people get away with it though

I wouldn't illegally space my reg, around here the cops use any excuse to pull you. Police always follow me and havnt stopped me for the domed plates, they use ANPR too so I'm guessing they're ok to have lol

I use the M25, A2 and A20 all day everyday, hugely busy roads with cops crawling all over and touch wood dont have an issue.........

R8 BPT is spaced R8B PT
