Personalised Number Plate

[coalvillefox]

Always wanted one, don't know why and my Wife doesn't know why either. Nothing fancy, just my initials or something similar but where do I get it from? There appear to be many places online but all at slightly different prices and all charging extra for different additional services. Any recommendations on a place to get one from and how do I avoid paying more then I need to?

Try this. Its part of the dvla so I'd trust these more than other sites.

You can buy them at lots of websites but if you want to go through the DVLA if that makes you feel better you can get them here. My wife got me one through here.

direct from the DVLA is cheaper.

 

can use something like newreg if you want to do it monthly but more overall.

 

just remember the £80 each time you take it off a car.

I wanted to buy one for the Mrs, but she won't let me.

 

Her name is Laura, so I could easily buy a current style 14 plate reg that ended in URA, so the end reads Laura.

 

I honestly found BJ14URA for £399

 

I think it's worth it, just to see her face

I've considered a personalised number plate but always decided against it.

 

I am having a mid life crisis, am desperate to make my car look newer than it really is, and I do have a small penis - so I'm the perfect candidate for one really.

Go through the DVLA, it's basically choose what you want, pay your money and wait for the certificate, then change your log book and get new plates made up, as long as it doesn't appear to make your car newer you can have any reg you want. I've had 3 for my family as birthday presents, one thing to know though is that you own that reg for 10 years (i think) so if you swap cars, you have to pay a small fee to change the number over again. (might be £75, but i'm not 100%)

Why do you want one? I should emphasise that there isn't a 'the f***' between 'why' and 'do', I'm genuinely curious because I've never understood the appeal - it's something I just don't 'get'

I've always liked the idea of personalised stuff. I played in goal for years and always had my initials on the wrist band of my gloves. I bought a set of bath towels for me and the wife and had our names embroidered on them. Personalised stuff has always appealed to me, no idea why.

One of the greatest posts.

Just say you can't afford it; it's alright. No shame here.

Well that makes perfect sense, although I'd see those examples you've given as being much better value both in terms of cost and also more accurate personalisation than what the DVLA can offer

I'm deliberately trying not to be a grumpy old man (even though I probably am one) and more importantly not to be seen as taking the piss.

 

An old colleague of mine got a personalised plate from his Missus for his 40th birthday, and when I took the mickey in the gentlest way imaginable, he was MASSIVELY offended, and I thought to myself at the time 'just because it's not your sort of thing, Bellend, doesn't mean that it's not of profound personal importance to somebody else'

I love mine, people laugh at it though, dont knows why.

The best one I've ever seen was on my Amazon route, somewhere in Warwickshire I think. 

 

A bloke had lots of pride flags adorning his house and his personalised plate was L11 GAY

Someone I work with (an accountant) newly qualified, and his wife bought him "PH11 ACA".  Phil being his name, ACA being his qualification.  I mean, I have nothing against being an accountant - I'm one myself - but to drive a personalised number plate car that says "I'm an accountant"  -  

[Raj]

Seriously  though most of my cousins and family have them but I really cant see ANY reason for them apart from being an egotistical tw@t.

Next thing you'll be buying an Audi or Bremer...

You were right first time.

I remember driving to work one morning and the car in front had a plate

Can confirm at least one of these statements is true.

 

I'm not confirming which one though
