You must have the suppliers name & postcode at the bottom of the plates for them to be legal. For example BMW plates come with BMW (UK) RG12 8TA, Vauxhall in Canterbury use PERRY'S CT2 0EZ. Then the obvious BSAU145d  :y.

Technically, there's a suppliers name and postcode on the plates, now whether the plates were on the car when you bought it are a different matter  ::) :y.
