Default New car number plate ideas

Just looking into a private plate for my gtr, gotta get the 09 plate off it it's dressed as a 2017 lol

I've found DIG 898 and is appropriate as I run a plant hire muck shifting business with machines digging all day

Just trying to think of any other angles to look at for a plate ?
Tried my initials CRB but nothing came up that caught my eye

​​​​​​L123 BHP for 1121 bhp





DIG 898 for digger lol, I think one is a rip off aswell for what it is
That's all I've been able to find so far

I think the dig one is the best. I expect all the Mud ones have been taken by 4x4 owners.

Keep it simple.... Don't get something that doesn't quite read what you have to keep explaining to people....
it seems that the more obvious a word is the more expensive it is....I just went for a cheap Ł250 dvla plate of mine and my kids imitial….means nothing to anyone but its obvious its a private plate and hides the fact my C63s 11 years old....


im james…..my kids are Ben, Xavier and Emma….only joking....no one would call their kid Ben..... its just Ben and Emma....

5 digit plate, perfect pal

So far I'm leaning towards C8 HLK as my favourite, the dig one is Ł1000 what a rip off for what it is

That hulk plate works perfectly, get that. Everything else you've shown isn't great IMHO.

the simple 5 digit plates look better imo.
a guy I work with got a private plate ….its something like SC 08 JLC which apparently is his and his wives initials and the year they were married....looks just like a normal plate though so you cant tell its personal....and his cars much newer so makes it look old....pretty much pointless really ...

id never spent as much as a grand a plate though....I did see J4 MES being offered up for auction but the starting price was Ł6500....silly money....
hate seeing all those BAZ DAZ CAZ 4473 type plates around...

That J4 MES plate would be cheap at Ł6500 I reckon, unless the plate reads something without having to explain then plates with a year letter aren't my thing.

Im waiting on a response about it, but at nearly Ł5k I think it's way overpriced, I don't mind paying for something but I won't pay over the odds

that 6500 was the starting price in the auction....no idea what it went for in the end....

your C4 RLB is on a 2006 Hyundai terracan diesel...

H7 ULK is up for 5 K ? That sounds well over the odds for that!

That car will be so awesome on it's own, once you start using it in anger you won't need a special number plate imo. People will soon get to recognise it and what it is capable of!!!!!

I’m 6’6” didn’t pay much for it quite a few years ago, wonder what it’s worth now private plates are so popular.

been waiting for another nice car to put it on but anything I’ve bought that’s tasty already has a plate on it.




what about a GTR plate? Considering your buying it just for the car? Although HULK is a good plate I admit.

L7 ULK is only Ł250
H77 ULK Ł1600
H7 ULK guide price with fees Ł4900 !

H7 ULK by far best looking but is it Ł3300 better for having 1 less 7 or Ł4650 better than L7 ULK, H7 still has an extra digit in it, whereas L7 isn't, if I could find L1 ULK I think that would be perfect as as L1 is as close to a H combined that is possible with a plate

61 is a closeish h aswell

Ignoreing my name I think hulk is what it needs, car specific, and hulk is my all-time favourite marvel superhero

I'm thinking now I just need to search all plates ending ULK and see what's out there

I do not think many people would get the Hulk connection with H3 VLK...not that it matters what someone else thinks.

You can write to DVLA and ask them to contact the owner of the vehicle with C4RLB plate...I understand they do pass it on as my mate had 70Y and the owner of 7OY contacted him and sold him the sister plate, my mate made 50k by selling them as a pair.

I've done it quick before I change my mind lol
I can't pay Ł5k with a 7 in it that means nothing it will just bug me forever at that price





Has to be 5 digits, it works for me I'm well chuffed for Ł250, shall I spend the saved Ł4750 on tuneing and go for 1700 hp now lol

You need to get some plates made up with Hulk written under the reg as that doesn't read that to me
