Oh yeah, it is totally illegal, "show use only"
I didnt want carbon look, so my plate is going to be carbon fibre plate with the letters cut out of the reflective yellow so the numbers and letters are the actual carbon showing through!

From a distance, pc plod shouldnt be able to tell the difference!!

Im managing to sort this out for around the £20-25 mark, so prob not a lot more than you paid for carbon look.
I only found two companies that sell real carbon fibre plates, one has just taken this product idea off their website, and the other company, is undergoing restructuring and wont respond to emails! (think that means going tits up!!)

Fake carbon always look gash, especially the coloured ones! Nowt like 2/2 twill real CF!

Not sure Im going to be able to do it anyway, seems like the only way I can get white markings is by using embossing powder, which looks like it could be more hassle than its worth!

got to be honest most cf vinyl looks a little naff, but there are some pretty good ones, i have one thats is very realistic looking and looks awsome for decals, best avoided for small decals though as its got a metalic almost woven makeup
