You should just be happy you have police pulling people I ran with no front plate for 2yrs on van never pulled (even though many chances) only put it bk on due to needing first mot

Don’t think I’ve noticed that many illegal plates in Plymouth, maybe just print off the rules and keep a ruler in the car lol
I’ll keep a eye out for you tho, haven’t seen a 5th gen for awhile now.

I believe the colour is known as sky silver?

When I replaced my import plate, as one had cracked from a stone chip, there was a code printed on the new plate, which should be identifiable to the police as a legal plate. Or am I wrong?

I had a police car behind me yesterday in the lude all they way down a main road and then through 10-15 mins of traffic. Not pulled for the plate. At least some police know what is legal. Either that or they was late for an appointment with some donuts.
