Not Land Rover specific I know.

Does anyone know if it'd be legal to have a dark green GB Euro badge on my number plate? I'd like that, with the dark green border ... I can't find the answer online... Cheers guys :p
 
Well as its an unregistered colour ie doesn't belong to a specific nation then I'd guess you can have what ever you want its simply decoration isn't it?, now having Spanish flag on a UK car for eg I'd say would be breaking some rule,or other..
 
hi

found this if its any good

Euro symbol
If you display the Euro symbol and Great Britain (GB) national identifier on your number plate, then you won’t need a separate GB sticker when travelling within the European Union.

The Euro symbol must:

be a minimum height of 98mm
have a width between 40 and 50mm
have a reflective blue background with 12 reflecting yellow stars at the top
show the member state (GB) in reflecting white or yellow

seems as though ur only allowed to have a blue coloured badge

however on number plate sites they sell them with all sort of colours, but like everything may not be legal, lol

What I meant was that if its not the right colour then its not a flag its simply just a pattern...
 
Definitely not legal.

The only addition to a standard white or yellow number plate that is legal is the blue Euro badge. Anything else at all (St George cross, Saltire etc) is illegal.

You can buy them of course, but they will be sold as 'show plates' to get around the law. You are also highly unlikely to ever get done for it, so it all depends how scrupulous you are about keeping the right side of the law!

Unless you cross the border to Wales.........

I have had many conversations with motorists who have happily drove around for years with illegal plates (too small/lettering too close/not spaced correctly/italic/wrong pic/etc etc) and as they have driven into my part of Wales they get a pull for it, the problem(and the beauty) of this area is there is hardly any crime and as a result the police have to keep their numbers up usually by pulling tourists.

Plate laws:

This is NOT me guessing.....
Its only legal to display, euro flags is blue background with yellow stars and the country code I.e. GB. The goverment made it legal to display the St George flag in 2009, but won't be recognised on the continent.
However the display of stickers with flags etc is usually down to the police force. For example,here in Cornwall, The inspector actively told officers to turn a blind eye to anyone displaying the Devon or Cornish flags as to not damage relations or provoke public reaction.
As for just something random in theory yes its illegal but chances are you won't get stung. Any who its a £30 soooooo
 
Thanks guys. I didn't choose any flag . Just sent for green border. Simples. Thanks.
