Pre 1973 vehicles had silver or white letters/digits on black surrounds or stickers straight on the bodywork, effectively any colour background. However your car requires the now standard number plates using the correct size letters and reflective materials. It also has to show the British standard and the postcode of the plate manufacturer. So the precised answer to your question is you need conventional white and yellow plates. Why give the filth a reason to pull you over?

I'd leave that as it is.. IMO a lovely colour. Modern classic. Please don't piss about with the plates.....
Edit to add.. Spend the money on engine and brakes!

Looking for an opinion... so obviously the forum is the place to come. I have a 1995 Mini Sidewalk and I am thinking of doing some signwriting and gold leaf gilding on it. Nothing crazy, very classical mini things, maybe stripes, a circle as well as the sidewalk logo in gold. Do we think it would demolish any re-sale value? All opinions welcome.
Also... anyone know anything about painted number plates? I can make them reflective and elements painted to size to meet the DVLA requirements but it’s if they need to be classic plastic plates to be legal?
