Super nice and full compliments to your hard work and upkeep. However those FL tags are so fake. It really spoils the look and detracts from your beautiful car. Many expired real tags are available if you choose to go that route.. All over ebay, literally thousands of them.

No amber turn signals? Thought that was required in the UK.

Looks to me like the outer segments (the ones that are just running lights in North America) are amber.
