Yes I'm sure it will be, I wouldn't worry about it

I’ve travelled throughout Italy & Spain with the Fiamma plastic ones without problem, but it is illegal in those countries and I took the risk knowingly.

My understanding is that the law states all additional items, such as signs, number plates etc attached to the vehicle must be aluminium, hence plastic being illegal.

There was a time, I believe, all number plates here were aluminium too

I would imagine you would be fairly unlucky to get fined for using a plastic one....

An aluminium sign is about 30 quid.. Why not just buy one for a worry free holiday.

Or simply glue a strip of aluminium plate on the rear of the plastic one, problem solved !
