Personalised plates

[jonessa]

I've just got hold of a personal reg for my car.

Does anyone on here have any slightly "creative" spacing on theifr plate and have they ever had an issue with it?

So in summary OP, you're a low class, poverty stricken bell end, who is shortly to have a naff looking car. So declares Motors.

I've never felt so loved.

There's always so much negativity about cherished plates - I wonder why that is?

Never really got the whole personal plate thing. 99% of the time they are meaningless. I do like them when relevant to the car like the V6 WTF that i think someone here had on an ST220.

I see plenty of cars with a private plate that have not been washed for months, have mismatched ditchfinders, are full of dents and have what looks like the contents of my dusbin strewn over the inside and it just puzzles me. Why bother?

The plate starts V125 - I drive an Octavia VRS. I was thinking of only closing the gap between the 1 and 2 very slightly. It'll still read as intended without closing the space, it just won't read as well. Mine is washed every week, because I am sad and lonely.

The amount of illegal plates you now see on the road everyday is truly staggering. I’m talking completely miss spaced and black screw coveres stuck on to try and make letters to the point some are almost unreadable. They always look crap because they never spell what they should and just makes me think what a ******.
Surely some of these people get away with speeding fines etc because some of them won’t register properly because they are that jumbled?
The dvla and other plate selling sites are as much to blame though for encouraging people to buy crap plates to try and make them look like a name.
It also shows how un policed the roads are nowadays. They should give people a big fine or threaten them with 3 points that would soon stop them

If they are so distorted and can't be picked up by police ANPR, you apparently get a single warning and a small fine.

Caught again and it's a fine up to £1000 and DVLA withdraw the plate.

As stated before though - i'm not looking to completely change my entire plate or massively take the mick.

Basically, most cars with private plates scream "bell-end" to me. Is there actually a viable justification for one?

Yeah - some people have too much money and not enough sense. Other people get them as a gift. Does that make it justifiable?

£600 for something like F5 VRS, £500 for X123 VRS.

If I was going to buy a plate I'd rather spend the extra £200 or so to get one with the actual letters on it

I'm Lucky the plate ends VRS then (V125 VRS), and paid far less than that.....

If your plate is indeed V125 VRS then don't amend the spacing at all it doesn't require it and will look gash if you do.

Thanks for the honest opinion. I respect it even more as you used the word "gash".

 

[jonessa]

wait so you want your plate to say "VRS VRS" ?

Congratulations. I obviously don't need the spacing.

 

[jonessa]

no need for that, why would you want it to say "VRS VRS" that'll look stupid, why would you actually want it to say VRS at all? its a skoda vrs, it's not supposed to be loud and look at me kinda thing.

v125 vrs will look smarter, still pointless but hey oh, each to their own.

Thanks for the feedback.

I just got this applied to my cayenne

A little MJ sticker on the rear windscreen would complete this.

or change the Cayenne badge to say "Shamone"
