If you are wanting to take the risk of using a stick-on-plate, my advice is
to use proper reflective sticker and have it as close to the size and design
of the proper plate as possible.
"...and don't live in or drive through a major city" seems to be an
addition to this (or live down the road from a police station, which
didn't help either in my case)
I have heard of someone who got stopped
for speeding in their MX5-with-stick-on-plate and the officer said "I like
how you've done your plate."
or mine was "I like how you've done your plate... would you mind just
giving me a few details so I can send you a little piece of paper that
says how much I like it?"
Here's something I wrote on plates ages ago...

I now have the original plate back on there after having no plates for a
year or so, a half sized plate replica for quite a while and a stick on
for fair while too.
On the upside, and after a long battle, I have a standard form letter if
anyone wants a copy that says basically 'thanks for the fine again, I've
fixed the issue, can I be let off?' (I have one for unpaid regos too...)
cheers
