Watcha Daz.. Yeah I`m very happy with the Focus ta... Hopefully you`ll see it at the meeting mate (work pending), worth every penny too, can`t wait to get it on track as i think it`ll be a weapon!

Back to the subject of private plates, I have BAZ 2642 and I`ve seen similar plates are being sold online for up to approx Ł3500!!!! I don`t even think it`s worth that!! But i ain`t complaining!!!

The difference is................................2, 4-2=2

I would prefer C4 COS as C is for COS.

My licence plate is YBB, but never made it as far as the cossie. Girlfriends is SKOOB as she has a Subaru. All other variations had gone! I also have the plate on my current car starting SXY which people seem to think is an abbreviation of sexy! Time to change plates if that is the case

only the c05sy one was for 5k right?? knew some1 who sold their CDZ22I few years back for 2k...

these plates will not go too expensive in the future tho imo as ford no longer own cosworth and the chances of them being on another road car are quite bleak!! so the prices will steady off....the rs reg plates mite be a hit depending on the new focus rs...if they produce it like some are expecting it to be...like the evos and scoobies (quite a large production number in quite a variety of specs) then the plates may become desirable again....

well...thats me just blabbing on...i'll shut up
