Actually, having read the British Standard which the number plate has to conform to, it looks to be a very grey area with no clear definition.
The British Standard sets out the physical characteristics on the number plate. This includes:
Visibility Yes, anyone can see it as the front of the car is low enough
Strength Yes, they are strong, have you tried to pull one off?
Reflectivity Yes, unfortunately it does reflect when you go past a speed trap.........
As long as it conforms to the above, which any adhesive plate does, then it should be suitable.
And I found this also.
Rules for the display of number plates are set out in law, briefly these are: -
A number plate must be displayed at the front and rear of motor vehicles (with some exceptions).
