Private Number Plate

***Pixel*** · 22-09-2008, 07:35 PM

I want one

And my name is Craig and I'd like it to revolve around that...

But obviously I have a low budget... :/

Ideas:

CR41G (with letters/numbers either side to lower the price)
CR419 X

etc...

Any ideas?

Please research the price before hand so I dont get my hopes up

(My nickname to same is Craigy or Caigy (if you can work around that, haha))

Thanks in advance

Pixel / Craig.

Cra 19y ???

***HDi fun*** · 22-09-2008, 10:13 PM

Sadly it's probably already gone. How about C741 GYY

CRA 167x - replace the x with anything up to your year really it should give a fair range of options.

I still want W47 NNE but my wife won't let me

(Good job I'm NN as it makes me a bit unique!)

I've considered these: D135 ELT, D13 SEL, TUR 80D, A406 PUG, PUG 406x for current car.

Also fancied N15 SAN for my Primera.

Guess what - they're all taken.!!

No Imagination! Thats why manufactures put badges on their cars.

A bit unique? How can you be a bit unique?

Probably old age again, but I find it quite refreshing to see a modded/flash/high spec car without a contrived/tacky/cheap 'personalised' plate.

I guess the owners understand them, but some are impossible to decipher.

I have no problem with proper personalised plates - (ELV 1S or COM 1C for example) or 3 numbers/3 letters in order to disguise the age of a car, but when people go down the desperate route of using 4 for A 9 for G, 7 for Y etc and bad spellings of their names I find it rather sad. What is the point? To me, it is just advertising the fact that the owner can't afford a proper personalised plate. Good on yer, wife of W47NNE

However, they give the police and witnesses a good chance of remembering the number, so maybe they should be compulsory on Saxos and any car with a tailpipe bigger than 4 inches

Rant over, duck for cover

Using numbers as letters is tolerable, to me. What I hate is when the alter the spacing (not allowed to do this) and use the yellow / white screws in the wrong place to make a C look like an E, for example.

Also agree that it makes you much more visible on the road. I prefer anonymity. Perhaps I should change my name by deed poll to Y378 LER?

I'm average height, average build, average job etc... but my name is different from the normal. So most of me is average apart from a unique feature so I claim to be a bit unique.

I take up your grammatical challenge with this waffle in the hopes that I keep some credibility. However when I usually argue my point I lose and end up losing even more.

That's the spirit. Quit whilst you're behind. Don't try to dig yourself out.

**Prince** · 24-09-2008, 01:55 PM

At least he isn't digging himself in deeper

.I have to admit that I agree with OG, I don't like personalised number plates unless they are clever or funny. I have no plans for my car to ever display a personalised plate.

When I was driving around in my MR2 with HUI 7900 as the reg people used to ask me what it meant. It meant that somewhere in the car's past the owner had transferred a Northern Ireland number plate on to the car! I fail to see a better way to waste money. Also the reg made it a pain in the arse to insure or get parts for it because no one was able to work out what car it was from the reg!
