Been through three MOT's with the No plate on the front of the bonnet and two with a guardian bumper as well .. ;)

Mines exactly the same as that, except with spots in the middle of the grille.

Passed two MOTs like that as well.

Stricly speaking, those vinal plates are not legal, (they are not DOT approved with a ISPN? number), but i would be amazed if you got a tug for it.
 
It's all bollox now. Has to be made by a proper maker and have their postcode on the bottom of the plate. You have to take your parents, blood group, log book, two forms of ID and undergo a retina scan, to get a replacement for the car you pulled up in.

I got mine made up with a black border, just to make the plate a little more visable, (my Disco is white when clean).

Any place that advertises as making custom plate will be able to make you one up for around £10. Dont bother ordering off Fancyplates.com. used them twice and both times they have fooked up my order.
 
The new regs only apply to numberplates fitted since 2001.
"It's been on there like that fer 10 years Occifer!"
 
Local shop to us still sells the stick on numbers and plate "Show only, Sir!!" .. Of course it's show only ... :)
 
The plate will still have to comply with certain regs even if it's older than 2001 such as distance between characters size of characters etc, so you could easily make a mistake when putting the stickers on.

This bit of info from the govt is really sh*t because it's layed out in a confusing way, but the details are all there.

i fitted mine to the bonnet (stick on 0ne). And i just keep my old one in the boot and a roll of duck tape incase i get stopped.
 
legally you cant use stick on ones but ive never heard of anyone getting a tug or failing an mot with one on
