Yes they are but the have to be legal font, size etc! So you wont get the 'euro look' that everyone ossociates them with! 
You wouldnt even know they are pressed from a distance tbh! Remember, all the old plates were pressed!

That person's correct. You can buy legal pressed plates from Craigs Plates.

The law states that 'stylised' letters are illegal and must be replaced.
I'm sure, that technically, they could challenge you on this count.
Depends on one's interpretations of stylised I guess.

the law has changed on number plates its no biggy and no reference too pressed plates,
you are now allowed carbon fibre or patterned letters on uk plates as long as they have a certain percentage of black on them and the font is correct!
no biggy but still interesting

Only Standard UK plates with correct font, spacing & size are legal.

They have to be reflective too. With the exception of cars old enough to be allowed the black & silver plates.
