Jazzy Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My plates, both JAZ with 4 numbers, i think look better than the standard issue ones, plus they have a personal meaning to me as J A Z are my initials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 my pvt plate says ALFI BOY How does it say that? It can't be ALF1 130Y cos that's too many digits for that format. I can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee from China Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Years ago I bought an old Audi 100 from a police compound(those were the days:eyebrows:) with a personal reg on it for £50 as the owner had past away in custody and his relatives didn't want it so I made a stupid offer which got accepted, sold the car for scrap and got £80 for it! Was a lot of bits and pieces in the boot that I got another £30 for! Had to get the car MOT'd before I could transfer the number to my car and although the car wasn't really roadworthy I convinced the tester that I was only after the reg number and that I already had a scrap dealer to buy the car so he gave me the ticket. The car also had 6 months tax which I got a refund on! Cost me £80 to transfer over but sold it 6 months later for £900 and that was after the firm took their commission and the VAT paid Any motor sat around with a good number will have to be able to pass the MOT and have at least 6 months tax on it which means most registrations cannot be transferred unless they are already on retention and then the price rockets! I saw J80 SUP for sale just before Christmas for £740 plus fees and transfer fee to the government which was a bargain I think:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Can't say I'm overly fussed by them. Especially after concluding a very good deal for one, only to be screwed over by the resident forum idiot for it, think he may have sold it on now as I hear he has a new one (if we're lucky he'll start an attention grabbing thread about it ) First thing I thought of when I saw this thread. Not fussed myself, but if parents/sister/gf bought me one I'd probably use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I havnt read all this but I think personal plates are a little crap. A bit like having rainbow window wipers or something - drawing attention to a really irrelevant part of your car. However Id have a nondescript one to disguise the age of my car as some people are like "oh.... a K reg car..." and I cant say Im particularly bothered by that but it would be something Id like to stop.

AJI Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Don't think I'd ever be tempted to pay anything more than about £30 to change my plates. A number plate is just a bollox piece of information that is used by the government in my view. Be good to have cars without number plates in the first place. In this day and age everythings should be electronic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think J6My P looks like it could be an advert for Jammie Dogers.... maybe! BAS11L is a good one. Don't like Evo Zoom, it's just trying to hard to make something there!

marc_p Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have G8 EVL on mine I did have a dot in the 8 so it read G0 EVL but it was removed for the MOT and I haven't bothered putting it back. I personally like private plates, I feel they finish the car off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
