...as I think they're wank.

 

They are an invitation to get hassle off the plod. However I've still ordered a German style plate for teh front of my Audi complete with stadt stickers

 

It used to make u stand out from all the other cars on the road
but because there's so many now it's just crap

 

what do you mean?differnt text or different sizes or private plates?

mines private but normal text on the back and the front is smaller to look tider and get more air to front (officer)cough

 

The ones which have plate backgrounds and different fonts look shite IMO.

GermanLook plates and smaller standard ones are fine IMO.

 

Private plates are cool and if the plate is cut down (slighlty) to minimise the amount of blank plastic at the two ends is ok as I've done this on my 6 digit plate (the law states the gap around the edge should be 11mm but doesn't say the plate itself has to be a certain size in length.

I'm on about wanky font and italics...they're so 90's.

 

As above I agree! The ones with ghosted backgrounds, honeycomb backings, playboy logos etc are absolute shite. I think the cut down ones with slightly smaller lettering are fine as well as the standard size plate but with smaller letters as well. I like German style plates as well!!! (have them myself!!!)

What do these german styles plates look like then?

Excuse my ignorance.

 

EXACTLY!

Not really what you need when running a modded car that you nip about in

 

Agree with italics and stuff like that

but thought my old monte looked much better with smaller plate

 

itallic, honeycombe, ford/vauxhall/audi emblem tiled in the back ground really do look utter toilet.

clean, simple letters nicely spaced clean up a front/rear end a treat

there's nothing worse than a nice motor with cracked, 'bled' dirty old number plates. ruins the look IMO

 

i agree,i hate itallics etc.

mines probaly a bit too small on the saff though but i like it.

 

wank:
dodgy fonts
90% of private plates
ghosted backgrounds
OTT banners down the side

cool:
pressed steel Euro plates
retro 3D plates with riveted on characters
plates with bike sized characters
black & silver plates
custom made carbon fibre plates with stick on reflective areas

 

so you hate my car then!

 

I've said in another thread that I like your car!
Irish plate and bike sized type is quite all right by me.

With private plates what I can't stand are the expensive dyslexic plates that try and spell out the owners name...... badly

 

Ade
cool cheers
most think my plates nasty cos its irish,but my names neil and the rest relates to when past my test and my dob
but when you saidott banners,mine colud class as that.

 

I think some look absolutely dreadful especially some of the fonts and with crap & borders on them.

Mine is cut-down, legal and plain.

 

Look out in the traders section as I will be starting a numberplate sale including cut down ones!!!! Ghosted backgrounds and playboy bunnies are going to be increased in price (my aim to get em off the road!!!!!!!!!)

Almost as bad as neons and driving with your front fog lights on.
