RE: Private Plates

Undecided, some are naff and some make me smile, the vast majority only mean something to the person that owns it. Would I spend zillions to buy something Like F1 or KINGS? No I wouldn't.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Private Plates

It depends, they are not all naff but BO55 which I saw on a RRS in Brum and DEL BOY which I saw on a new FFRR on the M1 last week are.

I'd be happy with JH1 on my car because it means something to me, I just don't have £250,000 spare.

On order: Feb 2012 - Pure, 5 door, SD4 auto, Style 4 wheels, Front parking, fog lights, rear camera, spare wheel. Red Contrast roof, Ebony- final spec TBC

RE: Private Plates

Nice - I have a £250 one with my initials in it from the DVLA. Some people like the world to know that they have a new motor, I don't and prefer to be more discreet. The vehicle doesn't have a visible age which tends to (in my experience so far) to keep the jealous vandals away as well.

Delivered 15th May 2012, rejected and returned 4th Feb 2013 - SD4 5 door Prestige manual with a bucket full of rattles Mauritius Blue. Crazy Audi MY2020 RSQ3

RE: Private Plates

We don't have an option over here. We are given number plates when we first get a car then keep them forever. They are linked to a person not a car.

Ordered 8th march: SD4 Prestige auto, Fuji, panoramic roof, Cirrus/lunar interior, rear view camera, blind spot monitoring, Nav,heated front seats
Delivery: 6th December!

RE: Private Plates

If you have to butcher a plate to make it read something it's not then it's naff.
If it naturally reads either something personal (name) or a clever word without bodging screws into it, then it's nice. Smile

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).
Collected, Friday 13th Shocked April 2012

Oh dear piggy, I'm guessing these are not the results you were looking for.

Laughing No they are not. But it's early days. The tasteful crew might be along shortly.

RE: Private Plates

My plate has the initials of my name, means nothing to anybody else. It keeps the nosy neighbours guessing whether the car is new or used.
