Oh god no

We live in Nottingham, and my misses is getting a new car in march!

Hate to tell you this, but cars registered in Nottingham have the first two letters as FC-FP (I believe)
Newcastle would give you NO

Quality. Some one has to buy them!

Those can be bought direct from the DVLA at £799.

NO08 TBH, want

Scuzi · 9 Jan 2008 at 18:49

Can you buy these 08 plates to put straight onto retention or do they have to go straight onto a car?

Sorry but you'll have to go a long long way to better "P155 OFF"

My friends old man has PF55 OFF on his bike. The F has very short cross bits. Looks legendary.

yeah when you buy them they are effectively on retention for upto 12 months, then if they are not transfered to a vehicle you have to pay a yearly fee which i forget how much it is, iirc i was £80 to keep mine on retention for a short time whilst i changed cars

saw a foreign plate which was b1tch followed by another few digits. Woman BMW driver - spot on

Sparky · 9 Jan 2008 at 20:21

NO08 IMO

One of the partners at work has ordered a new CLS 63 AMG with the plate OO 08 AMG - how cool?!

I don't get it? :confused:

If I had the money I'd buy this and sell it on when the E92 M3 CSL arrives. Should make a decent profit.

Bennah · 9 Jan 2008 at 23:01

Im suprised that M3 CSL plate has been sold yet. Theres bound to be an owner out there that wants a perfect plate for thier CSL, even the E46 flavour.

I hate the fact that you cant put a new style plate on an older car. Such as, BJ55 CAR cant be put on a car older that Sept 05

I agree, sucks tbh :eek:

BigglesPiP · 9 Jan 2008 at 23:50

Where is BO anyway?

Bennah · 9 Jan 2008 at 23:52

Part of Birmingham maybe?

I want to know where 'BJ' plates come from?

something i was thinking about last night, wherever it is that the first two letters start BO
when the new 08 plates come out the reg is going to read BO08 ***

You have way too much time my friend.

For £15,000 I'm not surprised at all its still for sale.

Good investment if you have a E46 CSL or an E92 CSL on order as BMW says they 'will' do it late 08/09

Good investment? Great as the plate is, would it really add £15k to a thus plated CSL's value?

Reminds me of that £45k Sierra RS500 Reg No. "500 RS" - I doubt that went for anything like the asking price.

Gibbo - You tempted? and just out of curisoity, what would that plate be worth to you as a CSL owner?

You're not wrong, I'll stick with F(A-P) or whatever it is.
