Why? Paying money for a new registration then using illegal letters/spacing to make it look like something else. It's just as illegal as having a completely incorrect plate made up.
Personal number plates?

I dont think so, having an illegal number plate in italics for example the coppers are likely to fine you and get you to change it, should they so wish, but a false plate is another matter altogether
It wouldn't be a false plate if you used "BESPOKE" as it's not a valid registration. You could just velcro the name plate over the top of the original and remove it if asked by the police. I seem to remember Burgerman doing this with his bikes.

His sister has though...
Hehe, I'm sure that will hold up extremely well in court :)
Apparently, they can't nick you for having false 'plates, cos it's not officially a 'plate.
So they nick you for having no plates at all, which is a much lesser offence.
Never tried it though :)
wouldnt like to either, I bet.
