  • Should the MG logo be the more elaborate filled in one?

I think these plates are legal. You cannot have a logo on the left hand side, only the EU logo or the national version.

When I asked Ken to make me up as set of owners club plates, I questioned what was a legal requirement, he suggested that as long as there is a valid postcode and plate maker code displayed all should be fine. Well my car has passed its MOT without incident with the postcode / plate makers number on. Just a word of caution, the above plates don't seem to have these, so you might come unstuck, depending on the MOT tester ;)

Mine from him a few days ago have the postcode and makers code on them, the makers code is very small though.

The manufacturers ID on my plates is just visible,it amuses me the fact it is a Longbridge postcode..Complete replica. :)

The 1st thing i always do then i get a new car is remove all stickers from windows and then order a new set of plates without any postcodes etc.
Theres no way im having any companys advertisement on my car!
I done this for the last 20 years!

This is both plates before they were fitted:

This image also shows the new grille badge just before I fitted it to the car. This is just resting on the plates in this shot but I have included it because the text is slightly more clear than in the second image:

The two plates and the badge are now on the car which makes the car look a lot fresher. The old badge was very faded. The MG Rover Group text is not 100% accurate but it is pretty close - and I should sail through the MOT with the BS marker and the Longbridge postcode.

Want some plates like this? Check out seller hardridden on eBay http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/hardridden/ - they are just £11.95 for the shaped rear plate and £9.95 for the front one including P&P.
Isn't the MG logo on the left of the rear plate illegal?

I bought a pair of plates from Hardridden 2 years a go & the rear one did exactly what you have described ....The top edge started to peel and the
dampness got into it made it look really tatty and did nothing for the aesthetics
of the car....I ended buying a replacement rear plate from another seller
ive had no probs- since

Did you get in touch with the seller,perhaps he would be interested in hearing the problem.The communication from him in my experience was second to none.
