We run pressed plates on all 3 of our cars have done for 2 or 3 years now, They are the "legal" one's correct text,size,reflectiveness, never had any problems with the plod what so ever,
For some time i had the no number plate on the front of my daily XUD and got stopped twice last summer asking where my plate was, " sorry officer the heat has made my sticky come off and the plate fell off, will put it on when i get home" showed the plod my pressed plate that was on the dash, all they said was ok that fine "make sure you stick back on when you get home" sooo massively grey area !
But the law states must be of plastic construction , but 99% of the time if you drive by a cooper and the AMPR camera reads your plates & all comes up as it should they wont even notice its pressed, They dont really look all the different from a distance
