I wouldn't recommend it mate, it's really annoying when you have to change it yet there's sh!tloads of people going around with plates 100 times worse than mine.

This is the 2nd time now, but the first fine. So it's time to get a TOM plate I think, I worked out last night roughly that I should be able to go up to just over Â£3000 for 77 TOM, let's see them pull me for that

Yep, it's big money ain't it! The reserve is Â£2700. Although I cant fins the search function now

as you seem to have won the lottery how do you feel about donating to my GT conversion fund

for Â£3k i could turn my car into my dream car....whereas your spending that on a bit of plastic on the front of your car

But the thing is with a plate is it would come with me to which ever cars I have in the future.

I'm not even sure if Â£3k will be enough

i spose a number plate like that will still be worth that price in a few years on (as long as the government doesn't make plates obselete and use tracking chips

ignore me lol)

It wouldn't suprise me, when I think of England now two words (well a hell of a lot more actually) come to mind and they are 'Police State'

Not being funny but upgrade your car rather than get a new plate. To be honest people are genrally saying personal plates are becoming tacky.
I have a personal plate and would certainly not spend alot on another one. You could buy an s3 with 3k and you gti.

just my view on it.

I'd also then need about Â£5k to insure it being only 19.

Plus the next car is likely to be either the new shape A3 or a TT Roadster.

sorry mate but i have no sympathy (sp) for you. At then end of the day the plate is illegally spaced.

You could say my plates are illegal what with them being the german style ones, however all the letters are correctly spaced and aren't altered to read anything special.

just my 2c.

I know that mate, I was just unfortunate enough to get picked up for it. The only thing that annoyed me was the fact it's perfectly readable, be it the ANPR or a speed camera, whereas there's others around that you can't read until your nose is near enough on them.

I full accept responsibilty for it though

Â£3.5k more or less? I know they wouldn't touch me until I'm 21 anyway.
