Hello,

Have you smoothed over the rear blanking plate? (I don't know if I'm talking about the right bit, but I mean the grey plastic mount for the number plate).

I think if you still have the blanking plate don't get the Opel surround. If you dont then get the middle one:thumb:

I take it these are not for road use, or are these legal (EDIT: The plates I mean?)

IMO

no i have not smoothed it so i will follow your advice and no they are not legal they have a bsau mark but the german equivalant and they have german font

I had these on the 888 and had coppers following me a couple of times but was never pulled so you may get away with them.
Technically they are OK as they are reflective and clear to read but they will fail MOT for having no supplier details on them(Not sure if they have relaxed that rule now tho)

id be carefull going for show plates now as the bacon are clamping down on this. if they dont have the correct bsau mark you will be nailed!! my mate got a £30 fine for the front and a £30 for the rear and he only had a differant font!!

Dubmeister sells legal pressed plates.

Those ones the OP posted are not legal, as said no BSAU mark and wrong font
