Haha that explains a few things then! i used to work for MFI and the fitters charged what they liked......but their workmanship was good enough, so fair play!
Yes i know lol was just trying to prove a point. They do need to be there but they dont need to be big or red a shiny
Having said that. I dont think i would spend 4k on a plate. Olthough you do have it for life. Its all down to how you value money

I can see what your saying about the other guys comment, i thought the same. not so much brakes and bumpers...but if you think like that, then why get nice looking alloys, just get lightweight functional ones, or dont bother cleaning your car. its all personal stuff that gives you satisfaction. i dont clean my car because i care what someone who passes me for a split second thinks! I like private plates, the a Porsche GT3 RS local, and its plate is RS54 TOY. It just puts a smile on your face when you see things like that. But D333 ANO for 4k?! Seems very expensive for a standard looking plate!
Modding a car is all about making it unique and personal. So whats wrong with putting your name on it?
Hit the nail on the head there sunshine i mite add this quote to my signature!
Sent all the paperwork off today so up to three weeks wait now
got time to source a small plate for the front now though.Oh yeah value of money- i say lifes way too short, ive lost a couple of mates and they had so much going for them but didnt do much with their lifes so i say do what you can as much as you can whenever you can hense bigger loan and a little prezzie for my car!
It's going to make me feel happy so why not, so what if i had my pants pulled down i think its quality and thats what counts imo.

Tru say, money comes and goes, (reminds me mastercard advert)
Ive seen quite a few cars with only 2 digits and i dont know what the hell they stand for. but i know they cost dollars!
Two digits, as i've said, is six figures
I'm a bit on the fence with this - it's probably the only mod you can do that will never "wear out" or "break" or whatever - so 4k is a one off payment.
That plate means nothing to me - but it's a personal thing, so... probably the only mod not worth asking opinions on?

but come on.Who in their right mind wants to advertise that they are called gavin?
while you are feeling flush though D333NO,any chance of giving £1749.95? i fancy a new bike.
errrm
i do![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
Have to agree with majority of comments-can think of better things than a number plate thats not particularly special to spend 4 grand on,but if youre happy...

3 weeks for what? It takes about 5 minutes to have the plate put on your car. You can do it there and then in any DVLA office.
I don't think I'd spend £4k on a plate, but I do have a private plate... Actually I have two
But FFS guys, it's his money, if he wants to spend £4k on a plate, hey what does it matter to you? As for the guy that says everyone with a private plate "is a bit of a @#8$ and is usually the brunt to alot of piss taking. " well I think that's just a stupid statement personally. A private plate doesn't change a person, if they were a @#8$ before they'll still be a @#8$ once they have one...

i think you missed the point, he is not saying that getting a private plate makes you a @#8$, he is saying that the only people who would buy a private plate are @#8$'s.
i havnt got a problem with private plates, i just prefer ones that say something rather than just who is driving the car. ie. i'd quite like a plate with LCR in it but I wouldnt want one with JON!
Why you send them off mate? Take them to ur local DVLA and you can walk out a put ur plates on i did!!
i did!!
Plates are very easily transferred, might make your car more appealing to a buyer, or keep the plate and sell it on through owners clubs and forums like this! Theres a cupra plate in the for sale section atm for example. could even make some profit, i wouldnt say its a waste. Cant see D333ANO holding value, but who knows
exactly! a car related plate is just a saleable as a person related plate, possibly more so depending on the plate in question! how many lcr owners would like a plate with lcr in it? (provided it didnt cost too much).
funnily enough i saw a focus rs yesterday with the plate T30 FRS, thought that was quite cool.
I couldn't beleive it when DVLA released the e Prefix plates a couple f years back.
Cheapest was £599 obviou names were held back, plates with E1 *** were £999 and some abbreviated not so cool names eg SEB were also £999.
So looked for E11 SE* for the Elise which also perfectly spells the girls name etc 20 odd off them available.
How much....£599 bargin, took me a fw hours of constant phoneing but eventually got one. Bargin!!!!
The Elise will be a classic so saleable via car clubs and is no a popular name so again sleable, I can't loose....ho I can if I get stopped another 2 times due to miss spacing and the plate goes back to DVLA

Really??? Didnt know that they never told me that, i didnt know the dvla had various sites i just thought there was thn one in swansey?
Its much quicker, i think it was less than a week between purchase, and it being legally on my car, including postage from DVLA site of certificates
