after much deliberation ive decided im not spending silly money on a private reg, il use the cash in the capri build.


so ive narrowed it down to these 7 options that I can find on dvla registrations with a £250 limit all in


ME53 GTR for mese gtr
GR57 GTR for great gtr
HR07 GTR for hot gtr
NR05 GTR for nos gtr
YR55 GTR for yours is gtr
N999 BHP for 999 bhp
T999 BHP for 999 bhp
S999 BHP for 999 bhp




I just cant decide so thought id put a poll up and hope you guys can help me decide on the most fitting plate for the money.

I wouldn't bother with any of the first 5 , they're crap. They don't read how you think they do....what exactly does 'mese' mean?
either of the last 3 would do as theyre fairly generic although id wait for something that's a bit more specific or personal....remember if you've got to explain what it means then its shit...

I would just save your money.


If you don't know which one you want don't buy any of them

As above, I agree with Steve and Fuz.

If any then the last one......

C421 GTR..... Could the use of some strategicly placed fixing screws make that look like "carl gtr"....?

Would not bother myself none of them look that great as already said the last one if any lol but get what ever one you want it's not my money your spending

RS Grant

iTrader: (1)

Personally think they all look pretty council... if they are all you're prepared to stretch to, then stay with the standard plate.


Cheers,

Wouldn't use any of those, I'd keep the std plate.

GF09 THX is coming of the car I hate it


the plate I really want is 995 BHP but the guide price is £5k which is overpriced imo and im not prepared to pay it so I have to make a choice on a make do plate which im struggling with.


so I want to find a temporary plate for now, and I don't want to add screws to make things look different


I had M40 BHP on my r33 and I quite liked it, it could be said that was "council" but I didn't see it that way and neither did anybody who spoke about it, it was all positive response.


so that's where im at, the cars 962 hp so 999 is the closest available number, or gtr in the plate id also be happy with in this price range.

the only other I have found is 6 XVL but its £1600 which again is a lot when it means nothing to me except to be just a random 4 digit plate.

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

Way better!

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

the problem I have martin is it doesn't mean anything, it does look good though being 4 digits


I could get C6 RLB for £3100 but id have to move it together C6RLB and even then the 6 looks nothing like an A
I then struggle to justify the £3100 expense and dismiss the idea

fuzzy

That's the way it is, the more obvious the spelling the more expensive it is. I couldn't justify £6500 just for a numberplate a few years ago although J4MES would have looked good!

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

J4MES is a cracker though mate, id be tempted at C4RL for £6k aswell bud

fuzzy

Unfortunately I dont have that much cash these days to blow £6500 on a numberplate! I wonder what it goes for these days....?

st220kyle

Theres a Porsche round my way with 'K33P UP' that looks quite good, especially on a car that looks the part. I guess you could also have,
K55P UP, K99P UP and so on........

I've got T9 AWA to go on retention soon, i doubt it helps but you never know

STEVEST24

Your doing it the right way, I didn't pay much for my private plate, spend more on the car mods, and I matched the plate to the car rather than my initials, so go with a GTR one imo (first 1 for ME).

BigChuck

As most have said above, those plates will do nothing for your car other than cheapen it. Save your money and get a good one for it.

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

how can it devalue it when the current plate is so generic ? I don't get that at all, I don't expect it to increase the value at all but it wont decrease it either imo.


I don't need to save any money I have plenty of that, I just wont waste it and thousands of pounds for a meaningless plate seems a waste to me.


if I buy a meaningless plate it needs to be cheap.

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

good call K33P UP looks good, I will have to have a look with other words in mind aswell.


what sort of money is that up for mate ?


defo seems the way to go with gtr or bhp, the car is done that's why I paid so much for one so all the mods are done. im not short of cash but rather than waste thousands on a meaningless plate id rather put that money into the proper wheels and tyres for the zakspeed capri.

gingeRS

why do you hate the current plate so much?

the GTR ones are all a little lame, maybe get your initials for £250?

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

I just don't like it id choose any of the above over GF09 THX


gf 09 thx its shit I hate it

Maxwell

Mark_RS has a few ageless Irish plates that read 666

Would suit your car alot better

gjh

T999 BHP out of them.

Shaun's

Get the 6 VXL and go buy a vauxhall......win win.....

Shaun's

Damn....just seen its XVL...........I take it back....

BigChuck

By cheapen, I mean make it look cheaper, I'd personally keep the original one on it as it does mean nothing, with the ones posted it looks like you want a plate but only a cheap n tacky one.

And by save I meant don't spend the £250 or whatever on one of the above.

At the end of the day it is your car, if you like them go for it.

I'd be looking at random 4/5 digit plates, they would look a lot better imo

scoooby slayer

Hey I'm looking for opinions bud that's why I made the thread/poll , I get it now the plate looks cheap like a lidl lunch lol

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

There's no vauxhall I'd swap the gtr for lol

Rod-Tarry

SS you don't need this gimmick on your car. Always let the car be the thing that people notice. Ive been offered plates for mine but it don't make it go faster or be more special. Spend the money on your wife & kids if you have them & let others pretend it enhances there car . YOUR CAR DOES NOT NEED IT .

jameswrx

On a forum somewhere there's a chap looking for that plate lol

GF 09 THX..

Text speak plate! Bit of spacing..

GF0 9 THX

ie Get Fuck Out, gee (the 9) Thanx. GFO g THX

lol

What are your initials? two numbers and two letters plates are the way to go for reasonable money.

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

My initials are CB, I'm sure it would be alot ££££ for something like CB 27 or similar

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

I've just found another but I'm not sure as space needs altering

B9 OHP spaced as B9O HP for 890 hp, and it's 5 digit dirt cheap aswell

Fullflush

No more than 3k I'd say.

Fullflush

letters then numbers are more expensive, so it'd be 27 CB

Look at the next DVLA auction you might be lucky and a CB plate might be in. They reserve at 2700 normally and dont often do much more
