Hightower:
Best thing to do is go and speak to your MOT man (that's what I did before fitting mine).  He will be able to give you pointers about positioning etc.  That way, when it comes to test time there won't be any surprises.

redhand:
Self adhesive plates don't meet the regs at all and are therefore illegal.

Llanigraham:
^^^ Wot he said^^^
Number plates now have to have the makers name and post code on them, which can then be cross-checked with their register.

Hmmmmm.  As stated before, I took mine round to the MOT man, we discussed where best to place the plate (front edge of the bonnet, replacing the Land Rover decal) and I haven't had an issue in the past 3 MOT's with it.

If it was illegal surely it wouldn't pass the MOT   :-k
