Demon plates said they didn't know the rules for France. The plates on my wife's car which I bought 8 years ago have the skinny font I associate with France while I noticed my sons car which was plated a few months back uses a more robust font which to me looks like the same type face used on a UK plate. Anyway it would be better to keep the gendarmes away so I would prefer to minimise risk and buy a plate in France guaranteed homologué

Unfortunately for us, 75 enthusiasts, you can't have French plates made in the specific rounded format that we know...because they are simply not legal. All French plates have to be the of the exact, legal dimensions. If you manage to make one in the rounded format, you are likely to get fined if stopped by law enforcement forces.
