You are definitely looking at £1000+ in fines if you get caught with it. Also it's not unheard of for people to go to court and be prosecuted with attemping to pervert the course of justice for using a plate like that which is anywhere up to 14 years of jail time.
I'm assuming it works by the fact the numbers are also reflex-reflecting aswell as the back plate? Or elaborate please? 
Do the pros outweigh the risks?  .

I read up on this a bit after an earlier thread and my opinion is that you're not committing a crime by having one until you do something else wrong or pass anything with ANPR... at which point they can probably do you for perverting the course of justice.
Someone will likely tell me how wrong my interpretation is later in the thread though...

| Quote: | Further requirements for registration plates
11. — (1) No reflex-reflecting material may be applied to any part of a registration plate and the plate must not be treated in such a way that the characters of the registration mark become, or are caused to act as, retroreflective characters.
(2) A registration plate must not be treated in any other way which renders the characters of the registration mark less easily distinguishable to the eye or which would prevent or impair the making of a true photographic image of the plate through the medium of camera and film or any other device.
(3) A registration plate must not be fixed to a vehicle—
(a)by means of a screw, bolt or other fixing device of any type or colour,
(b)by the placing of a screw, bolt or other fixing device in any position, or
(c)in any other manner,
which has the effect of changing the appearance or legibility of any of the characters of the registration mark, which renders the characters of the registration mark less easily distinguishable to the eye or which prevents or impairs the making of a true photographic image of the plate through the medium of camera and film or any other device.
(4) Section 59(2)(a) of the Act (regulations the contravention of which attracts a level 3 fine) applies to paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of this regulation.

BTW Level 3 appears to be £1,000
Make your own judgement call.

Even better is to just spray your (legal) plate with chain lube and then give it a good dusting. The old bill are obviously suspicious if they catch you as to how your plate got so filthy and will ask you to clean it, but if you go through a camera, there's nothing to read  |
