Just pay it 
What legally required markings? I'm almost positive you don't need the manufacturers name/ post code on them any more. Especially the fronts, mine says Corsa XE underneath lol

Could have sworn you still needed the postcode/supplier/BS number. I've never heard anything to say otherwise.
CBA searching though, so if I'm wrong I'm wrong

Those regs I quoted on the previous page say nothing about it and I'm sure I've read it somewhere else as well. I'm not 100% either though!

.......have now looked it up as I'm curious.
This is the paragraph before the one you copied/pasted:
quote:
The colours and reflectivity of number plates are also specified in the regulations, and there is a British Standard (BS AU 145d) which describes the physical characteristics of number plates, including: visibility, strength and reflectivity. Front plates must have black characters on a white background, while rear plates must have black characters on a yellow background. The British Standard also requires that a number plate must be marked with the following information: the British Standard Number, the name, trade mark, or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier, the name and postcode of the supplying outlet. A non-reflective border is optional. There may be no other markings or material contained on the number plate.

Aye I can't find anything to back my theory up, I'm positive I didn't make it up though.

You've had to have the BS mark, postcode and who made it for ages now.

^ That's what I've got myself mixed up with then, I'd been thinking about getting new ones made up for mine without the markings.
