I think your right TX, we make number plates within my department and you'd have to be really **** eyed to make the plates up that badly or possibly blonde.

One of the best I have seen in my area is B 165 URF.

Makes B16 SURF.

Unfortunately on a Volvo estate & not on a cool VW camper.

And a prize goes to TX

Indeed her initial has been 'shopped out.

Funny plate though - except when I have to drive it

Oh i dunno, a Bentley can be classy if it's not in Cheshire. Not easy, but it can be done.

And then to think that sort of **** number plate improves it. Words fail me.

I'm not sure what that reason is when it is purely down to spacing.

Yes, TUI 2602 should not have odd fonts and screws to make it illegible. But surely the ANPR is clever enough to recognise D4VE B for what it is? As long as the individual letters are the correct type there is no other possible combination.

But it was an SL55 AMG, not an SL51 AMG. The numberplate was utterly, facepalmingly wrong.

It was in 2003, so the 55 plate wasn't out, i'm pretty sure he'd change it if he could, he had a Ferrari 550, a merc g wagon thing and a espace to cart his kids around. His missus wasn't too bad either

It would look shockingly pathetic, never mind the legal ramifications. Sorry but i have zero tolerance for fcuked-about numberplates. There is no excuse for them.

I say let him because if he wants to blow £30 a time with the fuzz then thats his choice. Same as people who smoke spliff or do drugs...

I don't do them and don't dare offer them to me or my family but go ahead **** your life up..

anyone else have anything interesting as personalised plates goes?
It looks nothing like TURBO 2 unless you completely *******ise it. The only person it will mean anything to is you and if that's what you want then that's fine

To anyone else it looks like someone trying to make something out of a nothing number plate.

A frond of mine has, or at least had Rob 32, his name is Rob, that is a proper private plate, not one you need to push and pull around the numbers to try to make them look like letters...

£400.00 really? - a fool and their money are easily parted....

What happens when you de badge it? I think its just down to personal preference some people like them some people don't, and i'm sure people will remember a car just because of its plate and not because of what the car is take L555BAT for example

Ah, well - that was his cunning plan. He had SL51 AMG instead, so he didn't double up and look a complete donkey-phallus.
