I'm in the process of selling my car and basically need to know who some of you photoshop wizards manage to swirl out parts of the number plate on photo's.

Thanks.

Can't you just use MS paint mate?

Stupid idea anyway. If i'm looking to buy a car I'm going to want the Registration Number for doing various checks (insurance quotes, RAC data check, HPI check etc etc).

Just leave it on show.

Yeah, just use paint.

Brush some black paint over the number plate and your sorted

Is selling my Saxo for a 3 door 306 hdi a good or bad move lol?

No, selling a vtr for a tractor is a brilliant idea.

Well you'll get a more economical (but nowhere near as fun) engine, a chassis that isn't quite as good to chuck around (but still good), an ever so slightly larger car, and an interior modeled on stacked shoeboxes designed in the early 90's.

Not enough of a step up to be worthwhile IMO.

I forgot to mention remap.

And 600miles to a tank, a/c, abs, and £90 a month insurance instead of £155 means it's very much a financial decision.

Thats rather skilled, they only made 306 estates up until 2002. So how did you get TWO on '53 plates :confused:

They found a couple that they obviously didn't build properly at the end of the run tucked away in a warehouse somewhere, and managed to sell them to someone.

Or they just weren't registered - like there's a Scooby classic that's going round on something like an 04 plate, despite stopping production/sale in something like 2001 - it got found in a warehouse somewhere and sold on, first registered in the later year, so given an age-related plate on the registration date.

appoligies there 307s estates ( just checked the log book) even so the build quality of the interior is appaling and the mechanics arnt much better

and my alfa is a 2003 model on a 55 plate, manufactorers build massive stocks of cars and usually when there is a new model coming they either pre regester the old ones and discount them or the uk inporters will buy them and stock them for up to two years without reging them, subaru / international motors and ford do it all the time
