Pressed metal number plates

My 1984 110 currently has a pressed metal front number plate and a plastic rear one and both need replacing. So can I legally get some nice new metal ones made or will I have to get boring plastic ones?

Either.
Age related plates are available.

google is your freind.

but you're "meant" to have black on yellow or white for that age. Still available in metal tho'

Thanks for the replys.

I was of the belief that vehicles under a certain age had to have the more reflective plastic plates and I wasn't sure that my landy was old enough to get away with it. So as long as the number plates are black text on white on the front and black text on yellow on the back any age of car can have pressed metal plates?

If you want to know the exact law...
Check out the The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001/561/contents/made



PART 2
VEHICLES REGISTERED ON OR AFTER 1ST JANUARY 1973 AND BEFORE 1ST SEPTEMBER 2001 (OPTIONAL SPECIFICATION)

1. The plate must be made of reflex-reflecting material which, as regards its construction, colour and other qualities, complies with the requirements of—
(a)the British Standard Specification for reflex-reflecting number plates, published on 11 September 1972 under the number BS AU 145a(2), or.
(b)any other relevant standard or specification recognised for use in an EEA State and which, when in use, offers a performance equivalent to that offered by a plate complying with the British Standard specification,.
and which, in either case, is marked with the number (or such other information as is necessary to permit identification) of that standard or specification.
2. Where the registration mark is displayed on the front of the vehicle, it must have black characters on a white background.
3. Where the registration mark is displayed on the back of the vehicle, it must have black characters on a yellow background.

Hope that helps.
