I wouldn't waste my money on something like that really, I would put it towards a stg3 conversion if it was my car. Ones that say "COS" or "RST" are ok.

bunch of arse, mate. 400 quid to the govenrment for a set of numbers that cost them nothing and mean nothing? you'd have to have more money than sense. over here, you can choose your number for 15 euro's which is reasonable.

you don't buy any other other consumer good and pay extra for a 'personal' serial number on it, so why do it on a car? strange

if u realy want it then go for it - u can always transfer it to another car. buy if if you are looking at keeping it permanently or for a number of years

I would go for something car related as it adds value to the car and is also easier to sell if needed.

To be honest, as it's my intitials, I can keep it for the rest of my life. which will hopefully be a nice long one

Trouble is I've got to ring ZOO and also order my 6-pots ah well

I was shocked at how much my plate was.. with my car being an E-reg there werent that many plates about.. Plus i didnt want anyone to know how old the car was so i went for an even earlier plate i ended up with B20 PHL which any idiot can see that the PHL is supposed to say PHIL just annoys me when people say whats the B20 for it doesnt mean anythin, nada, fuck all its merly a letter and 2 random numbers that the DVLA saw fit to put infront of my nice registration
