Things are different here, we can make up our own with up to six letters/numbers or combination. Mind you, there are some truly awful ones. It always amazes me that people make up something to describe their car like FASTBM or equally stupid. We have the equivalent of the chavvy brigade when it comes to number plates.

The only use of a private plate (although I have one) is to "hide" the age of the car in my view. Its years since I left the UK but it enabled me to drive something a bit more expensive and prestige (told you it was a long time ago) but a couple of years older. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

I downloaded the broucher before xmas and have stuck a bid in on a plate that has my 2 initials and 2 numbers.
All goes to plan I should get it for just under £4k

Private plate will certainley make you easier to spot around town

I know exactly what you are saying mate but the car does that on it's own especially a HST..... I'm more than happy to 'deal' with situations as they crop up.....lol

If only I knew what to do....I guess there is no rushing these things, certainly don't want to spend too much at the moment since me next buy will be a bike engined Westfield, the wife will kill me if I spend too much too soon.

Wow, your private plates are not exactly bargains. On my previous car I had my initials followed by 1111, on my actual car I have the first letter of mine and the name of Mrs McBunny followed again by 1111 and I could have had SUV1111, all of them cost 2.50 € each!  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

BS you forgot the extra 29 Euros for the special plates....

Oh, sorry, you're right. My private plates were 31,50 €. Still a little cheaper than the British ones...  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

Well I finally managed to get one....... DPS 13
Got it from today's DVLA auction and a bloody bargain at £2100+charges.

I am a happy bunny, can't wait to see them on the HST!

Congrats! that's a good price.

13.........lets hope it's lucky for you!

Fewer numbers/letters the better.  Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

Cherished is the way forward with your initials FIRST, nice buy mate

Been on holiday for the last two weeks so will actually get time to fit them on Monday, well when I go and have a pair made!!!
The DVLA side of things were quite easy, took about 10 minutes at the Nottingham office.



Now just got to work out what type of plate to get, a normal rectangular rear or a large one....thinking the first might look better since there will be less letters/numbers.
