Personal Reg Plates

RobP said:
On a related note, anyone know a good way to get the number plate off a car if it's been stuck on with adhesive pads? My girlfriend had personalised reg plates and was keeping them when she sold her car a while back so had to change it's plates before selling. We ended up just sticking the new ones over the top!

Peel the plate off slowly and carefully, using a hairdryer if needed to soften the sticky pads a bit.

Once the plate is off it will probably leave the pads still stuck to the car, or at least the sticky residue underneath them. Use a decent jetwash on this, will take it clean off.
 
M800 BAN for £245 - Muban - not keen on personal to the person plates anyway should be about the car.... M00BAN might have swung it though :p
P17 UDE for £700 - Prelude

Bah nothing really close enough to make me want to spend the cash - saw a nice ish vtec one before but it was silly money :(

Chuck some hot water over it first too, it'll soften the pads. Fishing line used as a 'saw' is also recommended but I've never tried it.
 
I think the 250 quid ones are pretty good - it's not THAT expensive and if you like it, why not?

It's just the hugely expensive ones on rubbish/run of the mill cars that make me laugh. There is a guy around here with 8 DWP or something on a banger of a Toyota Carina. Just think, if he didn't have that plate he could afford a decent car!
 
edit: Once again, with 5 mintues research, City Rumour™ is proved wrong.

Doesn't matter. I posted something which has been alleged in certain finance houses which I was able to prove wrong with a little Google action, so removed it.
 
I saw a plate that read OLLIE on the M25 on a land rover the other day.

Not sure if it was 0LL1E 1 or some other combination similar but darn it looked good.

Mr Baillie has recently bought a helicopter and is the owner of a number of classic cars, including a Ferrari and an Aston Martin DB7, some with personalised number plates which Mr Baillie buys over the internet to trade. One, "bought as a joke", and recently sold was JU51 VAT, or JUST VAT.

"The one that the VAT office have commented on before, is the one I've got on my DB7 [Aston Martin], which is ABU 51T, roughly it's ABUSE IT."

Talk about taking the pee lol
