current regs MOT and number plates

hi

my E300D (1994 model) has failed its MOT on both number plates.

apparently they now need to be fully black characters and not the carbon fibre effect i have had on there for years.

MOT tester says this is a new law just recently - can anyone confirm and also whetehr it is still valid on a 1994 model? i know there are some regs for cars after 1999 (post code and BS marking) which my plates dont have but because its an older model has never been a problem until this year.

annoyed i may have to get a new set of plates made up for no good reason

thanks!

derek

"Characters on a number plate can be 3D, providing they meet all the other requirements, but honeycomb or other background patterns are not allowed."
