Graham S Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I have one, there are a few sites about that do the same sort of thing but if your seriously looking make sure the price you pay is everything as you can end up shelling out another £105 + in other fees etc. Thing there is a site called http://www.regtransfers.co.uk plus many more.. do a search on google or somewhere and you'll find loads..

L18msy Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 If you find a plate you like on a site go onto the dvla site and check to see if they have it before you buy. Some companies advertise plates who then buy them off dvla and put their own fees onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I think there is a difference between a private plate and a personalised plate is there not? Personalised plates are just standard plates that you get lucky with the numbers letters. An actual private plate doesn't have the standard prefix eg "A1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personalised plates are just standard plates that you get lucky with the numbers letters. An actual private plate doesn't have the standard prefix eg "A1" Think personalised and private plates are the same thing, just whatever you or I wanna call it. Think the non 'A1' type plates are called dateless or something? Personally, I have a plate, which is my initials and birth date, to me they are both personalised and private! It makes my piece of £$%! car unknown to its actual old age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right though. I have SC02BOY and L 5OOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Got mine off the wife from the DVLA "J11 SBA" if your not too adventurous you can get a decent 1 for about 250 quid. I think you can get a TRD plate for a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Same here, i have a K plate personalized one. keeps everyone guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right though. I have SC02BOY and L 5OOP Those dateless ones are dam expensive.. I tried getting one well, it was GGS 132 or the other way round. Contacted DVLA and they said one was registered and the other was never used... My thoughts were 'great, issue it to me'. To get a reply of 'not possible'. Basically they said i'd need to be waving hundreds of thousands their way In the end they brought out the 'F' prefix and managed to get F13 GGS which was good enough for me as its my initials and my birthday is Feb 13th.. That was just shy of 1000 all in.. That scooby one is interesting, I do a scooby in work and his plate is SC02BEE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thats all good but you need a 6 pack of death to really pull that off I take it you saw my other post I like the Irish plates as you have a combination of 3 letters & then numbers, you should have at look at them too. Best thing is on the Jap plates you can divide them so then you have the letters at the top and numbers below like I have done below without any issues with the law. http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/3406/pplate.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
