They are fully illegal
the reflective side of things is just one issue among lots
the stadt sticker (DE) also causes problems with roadside cameras and therefore deems you driving illegally.

also you cannot drive displaying a German sign (DE)

and white rears are also off the cards.

your only option is to go for plates with (GB) on them if you don't want to pay the consequences.

so its kind of your call mate
im speaking from my own view on it, because i got pulled last July...
