Whether or no you would get picked up for it on a mot is another matter (can see the Police pulling you as long as the spacing / font is correct)
I did this for my Rover 200 as fancyplates.com have the 'ROVER' script in the correct 1990s font in their dropdown list. They are show plates in theory but are the standard UK font and have no BS number - but it is a 1995 model so it is possible that the plates are original and hence would not have them.

Do you think MOT testers are more vigilant for the BS number on post-2001 cars? They were obviously legal at some point because the press cars had them - the 'no logo' rule is very recent.
