Dreaming of a CL55k - one day maybe....
A plate can only be put on a car of an age where the car is the sameage as (or newer than) the plate.

so mine - V12 xxx can be put on any V reg or newer

I don't get some of these "private" plates; they really just look like "normal" plates and the mis-spaced or butchered ones look, to be honest, absolutely cheap and tacky and will simply get you a tug.

Unless it's something spectacularly good (such as for example "F1 ONA") then the only way to go is pre-1963 dateless. Otherwise don't bother. It's naff.

Just my 2p (which is, coincidentally, the approximate value of half the plates on here ;))

Agrred!!

Any plate that needs explanation or illegal spacing / bolts is a plate not worth buying or displaying.

as stated
Someone has just asked if I've still got that plate for sale - it was 2008 for heavens sake!
Suspect its a spam direct email (reply to gmail yeh right!). Anyone else had "contact" external of the site ?

If genuine - apols but long gone for a miserable couple of hundred. The car put people off!

I've just bought P444 OFF for £360 off the internet :). Few well chosen screws should do the trick. I had XBD49 on my A8. It was on the car when I bought it but the plates were black with silver numbers. I got a pull and was advised to put the normal plates in a given time or I would get a ticket. Two weeks later my car was under 6" of snow outside the house, (the bad winter 2 yrs ago) and the cops had shifted the snow to check the plates then cleared the windscreen and gave me a ticket. If nothing else they were true to their word. You gotta laugh :)

Looks great on the car, not stupidly priced either.

I'd like to live where you live, because real crime there must be absolutely non-existant.

Ha ha seems that way. Crime here is rife and the council are a joke, taxing anything they can but motorists are a soft touch involving little effort. I couldn't air my real views here as it would be against someones human rights :). KARMA

I've got no complaints and agree about the time given. Car was off the road covered in snow. They dug more of it out than me :), Something the council wouldn't do :)
