Got mine from here, pretty fast delivery and good e-mail contact.
Get a yellow rear one if they're for everyday use, had mine on for about 6 months now and never been pulled!

I used http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/ for mine.

But I would recommend the yellow rear one, been asked by the Police "why I had a D symbol" but other than that, they didnt care.

Take them off?
Get mine MOT'd at a garage 'sympathetic' to my mods- no reflectors on rear lamps, solid sunstrip on windscreen, and now my plates :wink:

I used dubmeister and they came through well withing 48 hours

look good as well but I also went for a yellow rear so as to avoid getting pulled.. they cant exactly do you for having the wrong flag

so your best off with a yellow rear but can get away with the D badge on the left hand side.has anyone got the german text along the bottom of the plate or the small badges between the numbers/letters and if so have you had problems with the poloice.thought id ask before i order mine

i run a set of banded(with a d) with the following reg N984-AKE with the hyphon in the midle and get away with it and theyve even got plaquettes on them
but mainly run plain stamped plates and they seem to be fine.

ive seen these plate mounts any idea how they are fixed.is it just a case of removing your old plate and using original holes in bumper or boot to mount it and then just lock your new plates into the mount?
