Ticker Tape

Don't you just hate it when motor traders stick their name over the previous name on the number plates instead of either just leaving it or putting their own plates on.

This is the sort of thread we've descended to now?

Better than "recommend me any £25k car with mirror pack pls".

Came in expecting parade.

Leaves disappointed.

I'd hate to think what something genuinely annoying does to the OP.

Ask Simmy-lad for a full refund.

It'd annoy me more that it's a Daewoo (Chevrolet LOL) with Suzuki dealer advertising :confused:

It would be better if they printed the VIN number here so we could cross-check it with the visible VIN in the windscreen - if one suspects a car has had it's plates pinched and put on another.

That has just put me off buying a second hand car ever again, just the thought that it could have had that even on a previous number plate would put me off the car!

Rather that than them putting stickers on the bodywork or rear windows. Or both, as was the case with the place I bought my Mazda3 from.

I mean.. really.. This is your only worry.. Can we swap?

On balance, I think owning a Chevrolet super mini would annoy me far more than a sticker on the number plate

I remember when I had a brand new Alfa 156 from the **** Alfa dealer in Cheltenham (they were REALLY ****) and I went to collect it they had added 3 stick on badges and 2 window stickers. The salesman came out, full cheesy grin to be confronted with me saying "you can take those ****ing stickers off and one mark and I'll reject the car". He just sulked, turned around and about an hour later back came the car.

I hate stickers and dealer badges.

Jacksonn · 15 Jan 2016 at 08:35

I don't think they should be allowed to just stick them on unless pre agreed.

First thing I do is remove the free adverts and replace the numberplates
