I think it is actually illegal for anything to be on a number plate except, obviously the vehicle registration number, EU, UK or similar flag on the left hand side and the details of the number plate supplier.
Anything else and it becomes a 'Show plate' - i.e. not legal for use on the public highway.

Actually only just realised can't stick things onto number plates, fuzz don't like it as a rule. Useful eBay link though.

Ive just had a thought 
Would custom text on the number plate fail a mot. Ours had its MOT May 5th 2012 and passed  or would it depend on the tester.

I believe the only text allowed is postcode of new plate manufacturer etc.. However, an understanding tester may overlook certain imperfections Saying that I was pulled over twice in two days on the M6 for illegal plates. Two weeks after passing an MOT with them on. I was giving seven days to rectify without any fine. This may not always be the case. My advice would be to get standard/legal plates and avoid any hassle.

Mine's still the old style (no blue EU bit) with the last dealer's name underneath, no "complaints" yet. Always still a possibilty of course.
