Should I replace my 'white' number plate on the front of my car with a 'black & silver' one?

I think still want to have a 'sticky' one rather than an aluminium on brackets

I think a BandS sticky one may look a little strange

B & W is not strictly legal for 1973 and later, I believe.

But I'd go for it (and yes, I am biased!)

I think something like this will look far more classier, get it printed onto that special non reflective film and even the speed cameras won't catch you.

Awesome!

I'd leave it as it is. On a yellow car it will blend in better than a B&S version.

Black plate for the rear would be nice though, can't remember if your car has black or yellow at the minute.

The rear is black & silver & looks much better than the old 'yellow' plate.

I too think the white plate 'blends' in better.

As my original has started to disintergrate, anyone know a sticker manufacturer who could make me up a new front plate?

Get a new white acrylic one & accidently leave the yellow protective film over it.

you might want to bare in mind that if your driving in central London, black and silver can't be read by the congestion cameras! not that I told you that obviously, bus lane cameras will still get you, and speed cameras of course but you'll save £8.00 per day n congestion charge., allegedly.
