Anyone tried putting on a shaped rear numberplate?

Worth noting the following UK laws regarding vehicle number plates.

it's a legal numberplate. All the required points are met.

It's actually a more legal numberplate than the illegal one the dealer fitted which only has a 9mm top margin! So did all the other recent ones in his car park - their machine was clearly faulty!

I didnt doubt that. I just thought it was an opportune moment to highlight the standards in use in the UK.

Just out of interest and if anyone else likes the look of it, where did you get it made up and how much?

I bought a number plate and put an extra space in and deleted one. Using the number 4 as an A. etc etc. It failed the M o T. because of the ruling. I note that the plate mentioned hasn't got any of the items mentioned in the British Standards posted by gvmdaddy.
