I'm Scottish - and proud of it - as well as being British - but until such time as we have English, Welsh, Norn Iron, or Scottish passports my numberplate will look like this:

I covered up the horrible ring of stars (more like ring of barbed wire imho) with union flags under the GB plate. I bought them for a couple of quid via the UKIP website.I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.0

A political party, selling items deliberately intended to render your registration plates illegal?
Why would anybody buy anything so pathetically ill-judged, when it's perfectly legal to not have the strip present at all?

Could be wrong here, so pinch of salt and all that ...
The EU symbol and the approved country identifier (F, D, GB etc) is the standard. However, I believe that UK has a small opt-out here, where we can use the national flag (Union flag, St Andrew's & St George's crosses, draig goch etc) and an identifier such as ENG, CYM, SCO, ALB etc. How official this is, I don't know, but I see loads of cars/bikes in Europe with these number plates, so they can't be checking them at the border and turning people back.
On the other hand, a small magnetic GB plate from Halfords is only a few quid and solves the issue.
I was told that you can't have the Scottish Flag instead of the GB one.0
