This makes no sense to me
Opposite for me, I think a personal plate looks tacky and a lot of the time is merely to hide the cars age.

I find its good way of spotting the people at work who I never want to speak too...a quick scan of the carpark in the morning help me identify which people are idiots
I am sure it looks great on an Aston Martin or a Ferrari
on a poverty spec bmw 1 series or 5 year old prius..not so great

ive seen V1 CKY on a vectra
the plate must be worth many times what the car was lol
My dad has three plates in his possession; each with two letters (initials) and a single number. He got them for peanuts about 30 years ago but god knows how much they cost now. At a guess enough for a small deposit on a house.
his and my mums cars warrant nice plates....the third is on a old old old Renault espace. It's quite comical knowing it!
He got me one for about £200 few years back as a joke. I will have them forever.
Calling people because of their choice of plate and brand/age of car is something I expect to read in the Daily Mail comments.
But I do agree, they are a pointless waste of money. Even for a cheap one, I can find better reasons to spend the £250 on.

On a nice car that's obviously well looked after, a personal plate can make it look even nicer. If the plate is something that anyone will easily recognise as something to do with that person then even better and 250 quid for something that is yours for life is actually a bargain.
It's just like when logoed up company vans cut you up, don't indicate etc etc. Not good impression of the business and one I'd avoid especially if it's a local tradesmen type.
