I have R9 UER. I wouldn't dream of having R9UER, not primarily because it's against the prescribed spacing reg's but mainly because it just looks like you are trying far too hard.
And as for using resized/mutilated digits or black boltheads to form part of the 'legend'? Give me strength.

Thanks for that Rick. I guess then he was having "a bit of a laugh" with me then. Last time he's getting my business, as he'd failed the car I had in that day!

was that because it had a cardboard number plate

It probably wasn't intentional to wind you up, just some MOT tester do not know their own test manual very well. Have had to pull up MOT testers on certain things several times.

But the manual was updated in many areas last year so that section on reg plates may have changed up quite a bit from before

The police don't seem to enforce the regulations around here , I see plenty with dodgy spacing , non standard fonts , they must all be "show" plates ?

Since we're talking about it. What's the deal with pressed metal plates. The embossed type? I've always liked them but can never find a straight answer as to whether they are road legal.
