Gonzo Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 not to piss on the parade but there's a legal side to tin plates. there's a cutoff date [some time in the early '70's if memory serves] as to which cars can legally wear them. BE WARNED!!!

james p Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 ive only been pulled for plates once in 3 years so aint too bad you can buy em at the market as show plates £30 a pair

Daggle Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 August 1973 is the cut off date, anything after that needs yellow on the back white on the front
Ian1300 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 I've been very tempted by black plates Theres a couple of websites that do them but you need to tell them that they are for shows only otherwise they might not make them. http://www.no1showplates.co.uk/black.php shop around theres a couple that will do them cheers ian
