Would you be able to post a picture? Even if you blur out the main plate I'm just curious what the GB one looks like when it's actually fitted
Unless you have the same car, colour and configuration then I am not sure a picture of mine would help, perhaps a photoshop mock up would be better?
Or, they are only £30.ish to buy, if you dont like them take them off again. Hope that helps.
Not sure that the green or shade of it is the important factor here. IMO, ANPR in this country, I would assume checks the index against the national database to determine eligibilty to any potential benefits. Perhaps the "green" is only a token for being on message or perhaps a visual aid to humans policing car parking spaces etc. The latter is of course open to abuse.
I am more than happy with mine. I am not over thinking this! It’s a number plate it has my number correctly spaced and has a green strip (not bothered about shade) it’s green and to most including the police that is the sign of an electric car!
There are so few around nobody is really that bothered of the shade? I’m not, the plates look great. Like somebody said they are £30

I’ll be receing my M3 in March. As Tesla won’t assign my cherished plate beforehand, I will need to have this changed over afterwards. How am I best going about getting new plates made up? Should I get in touch with the Dartford service centre with my V778 and get some aluminium plates made up?
I gather I would still be able to remove the plastic surround from the number plate holder and fit the aluminium plate onto the base, so this looks a little better?

Does it need to be the Dartford SC or can I go through my local place?
Oh, I didn't know that, might take mine apart.
So the acrylic ones are too thick?
On PFC website, if you select metal, you don't have a choice of GB with green flash...
Nope, they fit, just needs some encouragement. They're not as easy to fit as the metal ones but it does work

I’m sure I read that now we are in a post Brexit world we will need a proper GB sticker to be legal when and if we are ever allowed to cross the Channel again. Not that checking this is likely to be a top priority unless some stroppy gendarme is really looking for an excuse to fine us.

Ignore most of my last post unless you are going to Spain, Cyprus or Malta! This is what it says on Gov.uk:
GB stickers and number plates
You do not need a GB sticker if your number plate includes the GB identifier on its own or with the Union flag.
You do not need to display a GB sticker to drive in Ireland.
You must display a GB sticker clearly on the rear of your vehicle if your number plate has any of the following:
Of course, with the present confusion on rules this may not be definitive.

You must display a GB sticker clearly on the rear of your vehicle if your number plate has any of the following:
- a Euro symbol
- a national flag of England, Scotland or Wales
- numbers and letters only – no flag or identifier
Of course, with the present confusion on rules this may not be definitive.
