I must admit, i have never been a fan of personalised registration plates on cars.... especially those in the illegal type-settings........ but recently..........................
I have bought a new car...... and it has been suggested to me that a private plate is what it needs to be just perfect.... and the plate is available now and not expensive.......
I am torn between wanting this registration plate with my name on it.... and not wanting to appear a complete snob..... or worse....... lol
Any thoughts on this subject????
Do you have a private / personalised registration plate on your vehicle?
Does it bring any adverse reactions at all?
Why did you choose one?

Private Registration Plates......
Sex God
If you want it, get it...... live's too short to care what others think 
8-) 8-)
8-) 8-) The one I want (and registered an interest with DVLA) is now going for auction with estimated value of £1,000 + . Even though it's perfect for me I'm not prepared to pay that much for vanity :cry: :cry: :cry: Seems that the DVLA use the 'expression of interest' link to hike the price up.
The plate is an F one, and the DVLA are issuing F plates yet and have no intention of doing so in the forseeable future. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I think its in the eye of the beholder, personaly I think people who think they are a snob status normally long for one themselves.
The rest of my family all have private plates, however I have never been interested, mind you they would look silly on my mountain bike!! lol
Just go for it and enjoy the pleasure of the new car without worrying what others think.

I do have a private plate on my car, those that know me well and or / have seen it will understand what the letters stand for. (A mixture of my real life names) cost (make sure you get the right form from the DVLA to transfer it to your car)
The one I really want, last time I checked was available for £40,000!!! anyone won the lottery big time and wants to spend some money?

have one on one of mine which came with the car. not really a peronalised plate unless i change my name, just a little unusual. as it's a sort of classic car it works well to hide the exact age. £250 is pretty cheap for a little prezzie for yourself and can be a good investment, a friend of my dads bought one in the 70's for about £750 and it's now valued at £250,000+ :eeek: . if you want it buy it, as long as its not something like 5EXY or MOD3L you're not really being big headed. one thing to remember is the transfer fee of about £80 each time you change the car it's registered to
Dawn and I were sitting in a restaurant a few months back. Parked outside was a car with a plate. Her initials and the number 1. Dawn says to me, do you think the owner is hard up and would want to sell the plate to me.
My reply was that it was on an Aston Martin DB9, so the owner of the car might even be the owner of the restaurant, so he'd be loaded.
A lengthy discussion then took place about the type of person who might own such a car.
After a while, a single guy who was sitting at the table next to us gets up, pays and leaves.
And yes, you guessed it, he jumped into the DB9 and drove off. So he'd heard us slagging off his car and his plate and never said a word.

The DVLA site includes the first transfer fee... or you can keep it on a retention certificate for a year....
Its nothing big-headed..... not even a horsey type of plate.... its just my name..... lol

From now on, I'd like to be known as L370 MUB.
So it's Mr Mub from now on, but you can call me L3.
Btw - equi-p . . . . . Have it !
i can never understand why ppl pay sometimes thousends of pounds on on what is just a piece of plastic with numbers and letters on which meens nothing to anyone but the owner 
. i know some ppl out there would dissagree but it is either snobbery or they have so much money they have no idea what to do with it.

One of my mates sold an old car about 5 years ago for the reg on it was 111UFC,
I have a private plate my wife bought me for my birthday one letter 400 and then my initials

You probably appealed to the vain side of his nature. Generally, people with flash cars - and expensive number plates - want to be looked at and talked about. He would have been really proud that you noticed, probably had a stiffy listening to you and had to go and do something with it. Not that I'm jealous or anything
My registration is X*** NSA, so if anyone is interested, make me an offer.

Really, it's not just that they love cars and like a personalised plate then? it's purely about being talked about? :shock:
Got the private plate but not the flash car - any offers to buy us one????
PLEASE - a 7 seater would do!
No way posh and the private reg was a present

Random pic......Took this with my cam phone a couple of months ago....tickled me...
Pic removed.
The phone number was clearly visible, as was the reg number. Though it was quite amusing, the policy is that we don't allow phone numbers on the site should extend to pics too. We won't want this poor guy getting all sorts of odd phone calls, would we?

Read with the original post, and the rest of what I said, yes. I suppose it comes back to being in a restaurant with a friend and their 2 kids. Someone pulled up in a Porsche, my friend told his kids to stop staring at the car as that was what the owner wanted. Can't help being a poor Northern lad with aspirations to own a flash car

A personalised plate isn't something that I've ever really wanted, but I can see the appeal for some folk and lets face it if you want it then why not. However, there is a paradox in that, despite the obvious cost and the outward indication of a 'life style' they can actually send out a very different message. The cheaper end of the market for me, kinda indicates a 'wannabe' someone who would like to have an outward sign of 'life style' but in reality can't afford it, it's a very similar thing to buying the smaller vehicles that all the prestige marques manufacture, nice enough vehicles as it happens, but still say "I wanna own a prestige badge but I can't really afford one.... so"
I am afraid that the cheaper end of the market suffers from the 'Burberry effect' we all know that it wasn't a cheap item, but somehow it still manages to say cheap......doesn't it?
