Even worse if it’s one of those silly 3D lettering plates!

These legitimately look so crap. Hopefully they'll be illegal one day.

They aren't 3D, they are *4D* apparently!

To be fair if they started spitting water at me or blowing some air, all 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids' style - they might be more appealing

Pretty sure, it's already illegal.

Most private plates scream ****** to me. I especially laugh when i see them on crap like Nissan Jukes. I mean seriously, get a decent car and dont bother with the plate.

The best ones are 3 digit number plates on a current plate Micra or something like that driven by some old dear.

Yeah screw them and their valuable appreciating asset. Why don't they ***** all that money on something that depreciates really rapidly! Idiots!

Appreciating assets? Are you listening to all those plate 'valuation' sites?

Just because they aren't worth what the scalpers ask for, doesn't mean they are depreciating :confused:

It also doesn't mean they are appreciating? Most plates do not go up in value after purchase.

We can split hairs till the cows come home. Certain cherished plates are worth a fortune and continue to rise in value. Others are only worth what the original owners were willing to pay. Not sure what triggered you tbh

Triggered me? You're the one throwing ****s around - I'm just pointing out that private plates are in general, not an 'investment' at all.

Of course some plates go up in value. The majority don't - that is the point.

You must have been confused if you thought the poster was saying he could sell his plate for less than he bought it to buy a car better than a juke :cry:

Doesn't particularly bother me, I tend to a look at number plates a lot when I'm out so the odd 'l33t' plate breaks up the monotony of just seeing how old cars are.

rentals and down payments on a Range Rover sport isn't cheap.

They mostly seem to be circa 06 vintage and blacked out bling bling. Not sure the newer ones are cheap enough to reach the BO55 crew, haven't seen any of those ruined just yet.

My favourite local private reg is a full fat LWB Range Rover with ‘LE55 TAX’. What a lad.

There’s also some knob in Bradford on Avon with several ferraris under ‘1 BTL’ ‘2 BTL’ and so on.

Find it funny when website offer regs as being special because they are unique, as if no other reg is unique :cry:

They supposedly being made illegal from September this year.

3D and the 4D ones are being made illegal (praise the lord) I was never one for them either. Pressed Metal 3D fine, I have them on my Fabia VRS (even though they were on when I bought it, but they are much nicer and cleaner looking then the gel/ plastic ones)

Don't believe pressed metal are legal either - though I admit I quite like the look, too.
