Personalised number plates and snobbery?

I was toying with the idea of B7 BPJ, B7 looks a lot like 87 which is my year of birth and BPJ which are my initials, it was £390. I decided against it as i have a £900 fiesta, i'd feel silly.
 
iv alway liked personalised plates i dont get why people always say you can buy a car for that sort of money you can buy a many cars with with the 70k people drop on Range Rovers iv got private plates on both my cars and have a extra one if i pick up a 3rd :P
 
How can it be snobbish? When anybody and everybody can go out and buy one?

And yes I do have a private plate on my car but only got it cause it was 250 from the DVLA.
 
I've got a cheap and cheerful £250 plate on my VRS.
It's in the format:

Pxx VRS

P being my first initial and the two numbers being the lowest numbers I could get in the above format without paying more than £250.

The plate hides the vehicles age - you can't get a Mk2 VRS on a "P Plate".

Nothing special, nothing expensive, just doesn't look too bad and as far as anyone is concerned the vehicle could be just a couple of days old.
 
I saw 18 L on a mini cooper last night, i dont think they are a bad invesment for example if the girl that was driving it received it and the car for her 18th, perhaps in 5 years time it will be worth a lot more and the child could sell it for profit.

however plates that have been altered look so tacky.
 
S50 CPB

Or

G14 CPB

You decide. CPB is my initial, G14 is of course another name I use, it would be going on a z3m coupe, and it's the S50 variant.

BIG 8839. It's not a private plate, it's a Northern Irish plate. Using one as a private plate is the most tacky thing you can possibly do, ever.

True, but, a lot of people want such a plate simply to get rid of the age part of the cars plate for which purpose, the Irish £70 jobbie does the job. :)

Tbh I often wish I'd got one for my e38 instead of the K40... one I ended up with, as I have mentioned earlier, people assumed mine was older than it actually was.

I can't remember what your plate is off hand but we've seen it before when we pointed out it was on a Vespa Scooter and there is not a cat in hells chance its worth even what you paid for it, especially as you bought it from Reg Transfers who are not exactly known for undervaluing numberplates.

You appear to be living in a dream world if you think you bought a £150,000 numberplate for a grand from Regtransfers.
