i like the non age plates too.. currently on the other car....S2 RAS

I was going to put it on the 2 when i bought it, but the hassle was going to cost me 7 days delivery time, so I couldn't do that!

When the 2 gets a bit older it will probably inherit them   s:D :D s:D

When I said that I was buying an MR2 my mate, who thinks they're cars for hairdressers (until he saw it...now he's just envious), suggested I should get a number plate which read 'NOT GAY'!

I spoke to a policeman about that once, as i have a space between ed and c  and he said as long as it was clear and readable and not those silly italics he and most others werent really that bothered
Title:
Post by: rmowbray on January 27, 2006, 21:55
Yeah I've had the same feedback from the police on this. They turn a blind eye long as you don't take the p!ss and make the plate either unreadable (italics etc) or look like a different reg by adding bits of tape and multiple bolt heads etc.

I've got R7CH M. Wanted R1CH M but the £25k price tag kind of put me off   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  

You will fail you MOT though if your lettering or spacing is non standard so you'll need to have a legal sent too, but the car only has to wear them for the hour of the MOT   s:D :D s:D . I changed the plates over in the car park of the test centre where my last MOT was done. The tester just smiled & said "nice plates"   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Mines S88AH S closest I could get to Sarah!! My boyf can do number plates and we did some alterations to it but I am too afraid of the cops to actually have it on my car!! I do think they are more lenient now days with spacing etc as long as it's readable I don't think it matters!

I was considering getting X 5 5AF X as my nickname is Saf but people said it looked shite!

They're so popular now and so hard to get the one your after!!

No the 5's are meant to be like the letter S!

Think he meant the X5 at the beginning before the 5AF   s:) :) s:)

I know that would be a cool plate if I had a X5, maybe when I have kids!!! but I was thinking it would look more like X S SAF X!

Heh, cool  s:) :) s:)

I spent ages trying to figure out cool plates like 'HAX0R' ('cept you can't have zeroes) or 'L33T' or somesuch.. but I couldn't think of anything that fitted in with a reg plate  s:( :( s:(

Here is a little toy for you to play with... CLICKY (http://www.rac.co.uk/web/carbuying/vehicle_status_checks;jsessionid=E61CD01B22865108E741688CD7BF1C8E) , type in the plate of your desire to see what car it is on...

The porker previously had H8WDY on it, wish that he had left it, its on a Mini now.. S1MON is on a Ferrari, have fun!

How sick A4RON is on a basic Pug 206   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Sickening, R1CHM that I wanted is on a Mini Cooper.

It must be worth twice what the car cost.

Sorry everyone - but I've been biting my lip for TOOOO long here.

I'll be as subtle and polite as possible, but er, um is it really possible to use the words "cool" and "private registration" in the same sentence? (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aetsch/cheeky-smiley-013.gif)

i am looking at 2 that will need a bit of messing with

N11 CGX    OR  G7 NLG (make the L very small)

Want it too look like NIC G  which do people think?   s:) :) s:)

Post by: Anonymous on February 7, 2006, 20:34
Personally, I'm of the opinion that if you need to radicaly alter a plate with screws and/or dodgy spacing, then it'll probably look a bit stupid.

Lee's one is ok as it's personal to him, and Liz's one passes as it's not stupidly altered. I'm tempted by MR02 FTW myself...
