MG Rover Group number plates
I am thinking of getting a ZT and have a private plate to transfer onto the potential new car. So I'll need a new plate for the front and an oval one for the rear. As I am fussy, I would like it to have the MG ROVER GROUP LTD text and the Viking/Octagon logos as fitted to press cars and those direct from MG Rover.
So does anyone know of a company that will do a plate like this? I have heard that recent legislation has outlawed logos from plates but I am sure that a 'show' plate in the standard font will go unnoticed.

I think you will have an issue getting number plates like these made as the legislation is very clear as to what you can display on a plate.
You could get around it by having "Show Plates" made but these wouldnt come with the BS number on them. 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) |

Send an e-mail to Gill @ Designaplate with exactly what you want, nothing was too much trouble for 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.

Gill has mocked up the plate for me. Can anyone clarify the following:

The Rover logo should be the older style one, the MG badge is fine though. Under 'MG Rover Group' there should be the post code B31 2TB. This is the correct font I believe http://www.identifont.com/find?font=P22+Underground+Pro |
