Aah, another illegal plate which technically makes the car illegal on the road and thus could be seized and crushed (unlikely I know but technically possible).
Of course it might be o.k. to have other than the EU symbol but I always believed there are only two symbol types allowed?

I find it crazy how one Policeman will pull a vehicle for having a slightly iffy plate and another wont even bother even though the plates are completely illegal.
My mate recently got pulled on the M5 for having silver and black plates on his 2000 reg car, the cop went mad at him telling him cameras and the like don't recognise these plates ( now there is a thought) and gave him a 7 day notice to comply and he had to take his car to an MOT testing station with the correct plates to get a form signed and he still got a £40 fine.
Then you see these kids in there cars with obviously illegal plates and they just get left.
Is it part of the MOT?

I don't think its a matter of taste, the car was designed to have a large rear plate, hence the plinth/appature, the same as the P5. it's totally fine if people prefer a smaller plate, and that would be a matter of taste, but I feel the "Correct" plate would be a large one.
Back to the topic, Welcome to the Forum, this is the place to be if you own a 260. (I will leave plate choice up to you)

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I have a big yellow gaudy plate on order, I like them-yes it's a matter of taste :-) I'll keep the other one so I can revert if I want to. I can't see it being illegal with the boot seemingly designed for it. Sounds awesome but the engine light came on-code reader says purge valve system. I took the valve apart, cleaned the bits and reassembled-no joy. Could be another part of the emissions system. Anyway, since it doesn't seem likely to harm the engine I've cancelled the light for now and will investigate again if it reappears!
