Many owners have had small "Italian-style" plates fitted, but are they legal?

The size of the letters and the font used is now a legal requirement.
Not sure how big the Italian plates are but in theory a UK plate cut to that size could still be legal providing you used the correct font and maintained the minimum margins.
