Both number plates need replacing on the W123 - They're both acrylic, (without the GB logo) but are cracked and faded.
I want to replace them with pressed metal ones. They suit the cars age.
Still yellow/white, but using the pre 2001 font - like the yellow one in the photo.
Technically, I think this might not be legal as the plates are new replacements.
However, the pressed metal plates are what would have been supplied with the car. In fact, I've just found the original number plates in the boot from when the car was registered in Jersey.
Any thoughts on whether I'm likely to get into trouble by doing this?
