PeteSGT Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi guys,I'm thinking about getting myself a treat soon, and this may come in the form of a private plate.Now I have been silly before...and bought plates that were associated with my car at the time. I had a 106 gti with the number plate 'P333 PUG' and my g/f had a lupo (a little 1.4s) with the number plate l333 upo.We gave both of these away with the cars...so I dont really want to do that again.But I'm looking at 'p33 sgt' because my name's Peter SargeantWhat do you reckon?http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/en/CarGalle...mp;m=2&v=56(not on an aston obv!)

Jen Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 i love personal plates. i think the right plate can really improve the look of a car.its sensible to get one that relates to you or that can be universally used! so id say go for it x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 i dont mind ones that relate to the car, but personal ones do my head in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukus 9N Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Do it! My sister Emily has P13 EMM, looks awesome on her 306. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteSGT Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Well its pay day on thursday so I shall see Unless anyone has some quality coilies for sale around the 300 notes mark...I'll be getting the reg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Fairy Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 As Jen said, get one that can be used across the board. I dont regret having mine, but it would be better if it was something to do with me rather than my ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukus 9N Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 If it's to do with your ride, you can always sell it with the car, probably pushes the price up abit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjblyth Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 i might buy it now and flog it to you on thursday for 400 notes!just kidding mate, but yeah i like subtle plates like that, its the ones where people use tape and bolts to make it read something that annoy me. when i get a private plate i wouldnt mind something likeBL55 YTH - because of my surname, or B3 NJO would be cool too!

AlexS Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Do it, I ve had mine on my last two cars, finishes off the Lupo, and my favourite trick is to ask someone 'How old do you reckon it is?' their usual responce is 04? 54? Its actually a Yreg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Mine means nothing to me and isnt really to do with the car either. Although it is a good plate for it as its a diesel!If my next car is a diesel, and i can see it being, then ill swap the plate, if not it will go with the car since i got it with the car so cost me nothing. But i do think it make the car look much better.Do it i say, who wants a load of random numbers printed on their car when you could have something more personal or something that stands out a bit more.

Mike_M Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 If you get a plate......get one that is personal to you so you can transfer it to another car in the future. That is my opinon and what I have done, as my plate has been on three cars now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my opinon and what I have done, as my plate has been on three cars now.Me too. 4 digits and a single letter - it'll go on any age car and doesn't try to be something it isn't by way of lovely personising the characters. I know a lad that has had his number 'taken back' by the DVLA because he's had repeated 'misrepresentation' troubles. Silly boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly boy.Yeah I dont like it when people muck about with the spacing too much...or use a strategically placed screw cover!With that one I wouldn't need to muck about (apart from the obligatory german style plate )Yeah £250 notes all in, not bad....its not a blatantly obvious personalised one...but at least its only got 2 digits.That this month...plus a new monitor for my comp...and then lowering next month, thats the plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
