Well, i've no idea what skool number plates are, but do a search for Framptons on google. They have most number plates and they usually turn up the next day....

good old fleabay! my local market sell them too, pressed aluminuim, there pretty good quality too, £30 the pair.
You will usually need the v5 or other paperwork to get them from a proper dealer, so most likely you wont be able to, thats what its like here anyway.

but you wont need a v5 because they are show plates, not number plates. 
just dont be as carless as me and forget to take them off after the show, its been nearly a year and i forget to change then every day lol

Lol thats what happened to me as well I do loads of work Delilah then when im all packed up and everything is packed away I go damn I forgot to change those plates over!
Honest 
To be honest it all depends on what you registration is. The way I see it even if your car is not legally allowed to use black and white plates if you have the old style reg where the letter is at the other end of the plate then you are more likely to get away with not being pulled?
But that is just my opinion and in no way do I condone the diplaying of plates that are not correct for your car!

To be honest beat officers prob wont stop you unless they are probationers looking for some extra paperwork, its the traffic police you gotta watch out for.

Framptons will make Old Skool plates for your car but by law they cant put an actual reg on a show plate. it states it all on the site.
as long as you dont drive in a way that draws attention to your mini and they use the plates as a reason to give you a ticking off, you'll be fine.

Yea but if you walk into a "reputable establishment" and say there only for show plates there not gona leave themselves liable on your good word! so odds are you wont get them.
