Personalised Number Plates

[wicked677]

This was a topic discussed on talksport recently and they pretty much said it was for sad people... do you own a personalised plate? If so what have you got and how much did you pay.

I was surprised to see the amount of money people are expecting for cherished plates, some mediocre ones for a quarter of a million!

I like them original plates that aren't somebodies initials, or advertising the fact they have a V6 or V8.. I think that is cheesy. Also people who put screws in them, I think that's really cheap...

I think a lot of the trouble is is that people think because the plate means something to them or relates to what the car is that it's worth stupid amounts of money and it's amazing how many you see as you say with screws put in to make up a name etc Though saying that there are some pretty good ones about which haven't been altered and suit the car perfectly. I guess it's all down to personal taste and if you want to spend ££££'s on a plate that makes up your name then go for it :D

We've got 'personalised' plates on the company vehicles which all relate to the company name or type of work we do which definitely helps to get the company recognised.

The old IS200 had L3XEE and my Vitz has V11TSY, and the bB has a B8 reg, though we have never paid more than the cheapest DVLA rate for any of them :winky:
