Number Plate Spacing

Bit harsh, I liked my private plate as it hid just how old my car was!!!

To the unknowing my £5k CLK looked more like a £20k car given its looks....

Obviously no-one here wouldn’t know how cheap it was, but to most people it looked a classy car.

 

Both opinions are equally valid & correct

 

TW47 with spacing and clever spacing of the screws...

I do often think what a Kno* but i try to be polite at first

 

Why do you feel the need to try and fool people into thinking your car is newer & worth more that it actually is?

 

I don't.... my car looked nice, and that was it really.

Are some people really so shallow they consider everyone with a personalised plate is a tw@t or a kn@b even when they have never met them to make an actual judgement - no wonder the world is in such a mess if people judge others so quickly.... .it's like living in Trump's America!

 

Nope - both opinions - not necessarily correct!

I would consider myself a perfectly normal average guy, and don't judge others in general, and if I do, it's based on facts not assumptions.....


Jees lockdown is certainly bringing out the worst in people on these forums recently....!

 

The regs actually apply to products of animal origin, particularly meat and dairy. Everything else seems fine.

EU Personal Good Regs

Edit... and fruit and veg but bananas are ok

 

Not really, no - i have a personalised plate - and there is nothing wrong with them to my mind: Unless they are illegally spaced in a vain attempt to represent something that it isnt real..... that is my big issue

 

I have had a personal plate for 20 years, not ashamed to admit- it was a gift (although not the greatest surprise as I had hinted) on my 40th Birthday- main reason I keep it is so I don't have to forget my reg number!!
Each to their own, there's some grumpy sods around presently who need to wind their necks in....

 

I think, as @Rob76 points out, the issue has become confused by some. It’s the illegal spacing, and whatever, that is so sad and objectionable to many of us not the personalised plate.

 

When I see a plate trying to be something it isn’t, I just laugh, I dont take offence. Life’s too short to get wound up about a miss spaced plate.

 

Indeed, Steve same for me....

 

I've 6... and mine make the vehicles appear older than they are...

 

My one does too, as it's a 'J' plate (1991)

 

Mine too, it's a '73 'A' plate, had it for about 30 years now

 

Nice one!

 

It is against the rules for the number plate to make the vehicle appear newer than it actually is.
Dateless plates are the best ones to have, but they tend to be much more expensive.
I have just the one that I bought 22 years ago and have been transferring it from car to car ever since.
It was originally issued by DVLC (as it was known then) in 1976.

 

I'm sure you meant to say 1963.

 

Yes, you are right, it is a '63 plate

 

Something like that?

I've had 1 of mine for 29 years and it's still on the same vehicle
