they are very illegal, if your pulled or not depend son the copper.

you can get normal style plates without the flag from the factors.

new plates can really smarten up a tatty looking car

yes, because thats when the new plates and new law came in, pre 1973 can still have the black and white plates, cars after that have to have the newer design by law.

Like catalytic converters, pre 93, u dont need one, after 93 u do

Same applies to stuff like musical air horns, legal on pre 1977 cars iirc but after that, you have to have a single or dual tone horn.
