in the proccess of buying S200BEY as a reg plate....


what d'ya think ???

 

also have the option of getting S200BY X


not sure which to put on my 2001 WRX tho


any opinions ???

 

S200BY X would my choice of the two

 

Yep..S200BY X would be my choice.

Well smart.

 

With correct spacing, S200 BEY looks better than S200 BYX.

 

tried that m8.. but either its already issued to a car or its unavailable

 

oops.. shold read replies better b4 i open my gob !!!!

 

still not sure which to go for..

and if i'd get away with the spacing issue !

 

need more opinions please..

especially with the spacing issue..

if i get pulled with wrong spacing what happens ??

 

you could potentially be fined and lose the registration

its all on the DVLA website

 

hello

A friend has mis-spaced number plate. Got a letter through the post out of the blue from the local cop-shop asking him to change it. No fine, just a warning in this instance. I also have a letter then 6000BY and have had it for 3 months without being pulled yet, but I do expect it sometime

did they ever follow up on the letter..??

i bought a private reg for my other half last year and altered the spacing and never been warned/pulled for it..

but she dosnt drive a scoob

He didn't get a follow up. Think it must have been local police spotted him around and just issued the letter. He did change it to correct spacing for a while but then changed it back again.

It does make you a little paranoid for a while though, couldn't believe how many police I saw when I first put my plate on ... not so paranoid now

S200BEY would be my choice out of the two.

Please tell me youve seen it on the DVLA website rather than the rip-off prices advertised in places like the back of "Lax Power"

On the spacing issue, i dont know and havent heard of anyone having their plate taken away for mis-spacing. I did once get waved in by a copper and the way he was waving and looking at me, you'd have thought id just ran someone over. Talk about a mean look. Anyway, he just told me it would be logged on computer and if i didnt change it, next time i was pulled would be more serious than a warning.

Im still not sure how true this is, maybe he was trying scare tactics. Generally though, i think as long as u dont go stupid with italics and backgrounds with logos the police are pretty easy going, at least round here.

Anyone else got any stories?

 

S500BEY is also available

need to order it today so any more opinions ??

 

Anything with OBY at the end?

 

Don't bother, it's a mission they won't let go of.

Plates Confiscated

 

DVLA can confiscate the plate "for good", having your plates "taken" is a pain but if youve paid £250+ for your number and then you no longer have it, thats a B4ST4RD.

 

S200BEY looks like a good plate.

It will still look good even if it spaced legally

 

Been pulled twice for mine,
1st time fined, (after I had a "you're waisting my time.. go and find some real criminals" conversation with them)
2nd time tried a different tactic, appologised about my ignorance and got just a verbal warning.
Motorway police seem to be hotter than most, gone past many a parked up panda without a second glance, never made it past one on the motorway.

 

hmm good and bad experiences .. will have to think this one through a bit more

 

S500BYX for sale £375 allfees paid and on your car
