Private Plates

they look good on the car, and if brought from the DVLA, is an easy exchange.

i'm thinking about one for bee. I think they look good and with the puma's design still looking good now it helps make the car look younger. I found a couple that i like, and like yours its about three fifty ish. I want to get some other bits done first

I would say they are a luxury tho

True there

My mate has already suggested I'm having a mid life crisis ..... maybe a 666 plate would confirm this lol

Iv got one on my puma I think they make the car there own they look good and also you won't lose money on them if anything you will gain money

I think this depends how widely appealing they are. If you have say your itinals, then its quite personal, or maybe a car specific one, would help the car sell.

IMO they work well on FRP's, epecially if you can get 'V [number] FRP' - looks awesome

Not too sure on standard cars though.

Cheaper to change your name by deed poll to the cars registration...

yea al change my name from craig to nak lol

I'd rather not cause some has said my reg said WTF once it clearly doesn't

I have never liked plates that nearly spell something like your name if you squint a bit and convince yourself that somehow a '4' is the same thing as an 'A' etc.

Then too, I have never wanted a make specific plate because you have to sell that with the car, or try to punt it on privately, which becomes harder as the model referred to gets older and less valued.

So when I bought my 1.7 new, back in 2000 I bought a selected 'X' plate which was quite fun and has since graced the FRP, the Jagdeo and now the overgrown Volkswagen.



Then when Sandra got her Citroen I bought her a plate in the same idiom, seen below, which now actually graces the Jagdeo.



Works for us, but probably not for everyone.

Total investment has been about £900 including four transfers

I don't usually like the ones that "spell out names" because they usually look a bit stupid imo

But model specific ones, or ones with a single letter, single digit, then 3 initials always look good.

For example...

A1 PUM
A1 FRP
A1 WJB

I still think if I could get M 4TTD then I would

Mine is T24 MRD i.e. my initials and 24 is my favourite number / Birthday.

The T is just because the car was a T reg and I didn't want to make it look older although in retrospect I may have preferred that.

Rob, last time I looked, X111 VVX was still available if you needed another reg number! k:

Yay! For the £600 Skoda Pick-up.

Er.... perhaps not

T24 MRD means nothing to me...

I've had V4UMA, and V14FRP on my two pumas.

I was thinking ST57 WOW , but last time I looked was #650!!!!

Exactly, it's my initials, not yours that's probably why.
