Not sure if you can buy number plates online. Dont they have new rules that you have to buy the plate in person, with your log book in your hand? Also things like Star Trek symbols are probably illegal too. They all have to have specific fonts and spacings.


From the DVLA website.

THE LAW
The law states that,

You must not alter, rearrange or misrepresent the letters or numbers

Offences may result in any or all of the following:

A fine of up to £1,000
The registration mark may be WITHDRAWN
The vehicle may FAIL the MOT test
Full details of the requirements are included in The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001



Quote:
Can other symbols (e.g. national flag, football team crest) be used on number plates?

The Government announced on 28 December 2001 the intention to permit the display of national flags and symbols on vehicle number plates.When the regulations are amended they will provide for the voluntary display of the Union flag, Scottish Saltire, Cross of St George and Red Dragon. Football team crests etc are not allowed.


Full details on the website here.

try an ebay plate maker... i have had one made with a the devon flag on it, all you will need to do is send them a link to the symbol you want!

`I plan to live forever, or die trying` ;)

I was asking around about this the other day... there is a little symbol I want on my car reg. :)

Erm... devon flag? We have a flag? :o *MAJOR thicko alert*

Yes, but only in England and Wales I think. I`m sure an enterprising Scot will be able to sell you one... ;)
