I think the general concensus is perfectly legal, but frowned upon by the MSA.

Poor old Rob he only asked where he could get the roundels from  No mention of adding digits.. We need Keith back to nip all this in the bud earlier with his 1st hand knowledge of Traffic Law. My next question was going to be about fitting racing stripes to the bonnet, however what with door roundels with or without numbers and illegal wing plates it would be a bridge too far as far as the Rozzers are concerned! Aren’t they what we used to call “Go faster stripes”? So with “Go faster roundels” as well, we’ll soon be needing a bigger speedo!

Yes following advice on here I'm now not having any numberplates fitted at all because fines are cheaper. The door roundels may attract unwanted attention even if they dont have a number on them but I think i will need the few extra MPH from go faster stripes in case the boys in blue give chase.

It's a pity Keith (Burgundymog) is not posting at the moment as he is our resident serving Traffic Policeman and gives us the legal standpoint and the pragmatic view taken by the average policeman, so priceless really. He will be back on here soon I'm sure I contacted him a couple of weeks ago and he is fine. He would love your Go Faster Stripes, just stay clear of Essex so as not to tempt him

I thought they were for lining up the car ahead before pressing the "Fire" button
