Buying replacment number plates

Anyone know a place to get legal number plates from? Just bought my 4th Subaru and the only problem with it is someones fitted Manchester City FC number plates :S

Want to get rid of these as soon as, being a Liverpool fan! Seen some sites online that do ones with Subaru badges on the side which look good but are these legal? Will it matter if I buy these seeing as Im going for a standard font, size and style I dont see the problem.

Thanks for any help!

Shamelessly cut and pasted from t'internet..
Can other symbols (e.g. national flag, football team crest) be used on number plates?

The Government announced on 28 December 2001 the intention to permit the display of national flags and symbols on vehicle number plates.When the regulations are amended they will provide for the voluntary display of the Union flag, Scottish Saltire, Cross of St George and Red Dragon. Football team crests etc are not allowed.

Thanks for the advice guys...

... think a trip to halfords is in order then, might as well get some proper legal ones. No point giving the plod summit to moan about, the less hassle the better.

Cheers!
