One of the best I saw was "big mph" on a cossie many many moons ago. (Google Sierra Cosworth all you youngsters..)

[Roo12]

Best I have seen was an RS6 with U LOST on it did think it was quite funny

[MashinBenzin]

300 WRX

On a Discovery 5.

Rally driver grown up?

[Broncho]

I saw 2O on a Porsche Macan at the weekend, looked odd on a full size plate.

[Blacktemplar]

Talking of chavvy (or neddy up here) there used to be a Ferrari dotting about here with the registration P155 AFF

Bloke down the street from me used to have a lovely old Jaaaag XK with the reg M1AOW

[RobUK]

I was overtaken by a Discovery the other day who then braked sharply to pull across and make the slip road. His plate was 'D1CKY' (spaced like that).

I figured the plate had one too many characters on it!

I was in Liverpool the other day and saw BR0 NCO on a Mercedes convertible that was ram-raiding an off licence.

[Malone]

Saw a Nissan GT-R with 911 00H. Made me chuckle!
Also saw a Mustang last week with WU57 ANG. Fail.

I've seen a few normal 3 series cars with M3 xxx number plates.

Was thirsty like.

I will always remember from when I was a kid a car near to where I lived had "4 COF" as a number plate. Pretty sure that would be on the banned list nowadays!

So how much did you fork out for that in the end?

[lethbridge]

Nicely done - a great way to join a forum! So when did you buy the plate/car?

I paid an adequate amount.

Thank you.

Had the car since 2019 and the plate for almost as long as that. I always wanted an M140i for as many years as they were produced. When I heard the new version (M135i) was going to be somewhat diluted, inferior and not RWD I just had to get one of the last M140i's.

[JustChris]

Interesting but personally I never get these plates. I'm more inclined to debadge a car these days than pay extra to put another badge on the same as the model designation 8 inches away.

I'm on the Toyota GR Yaris Facebook group an me I swear every car has GR something something. Wow.

Congrats to the winner of course, just not for me.

Inferior is an opinion not a fact.... for many the M135i is a better package.

But glad you are happy with your car and number plate, that is the main thing. I have two and neither are on a car currently!

S2000 plate went up for sale a few years back, I think it went for around £3,500.

I don't begrudge private plates at all (happily have one that is personalised to me so I can move it to any car I own), but I do wonder like some people, why you'd pay so much for your number plate to state the manufacturer and the model number when debadging is the way forward.

What a way to make an entrance.

Welcome to the madhouse.

I think you will fit in nicely here.

This. One that is appropriate to you that you can put on any car, don’t get car specific ones.

I do find it odd how so many don't "get" a private or personal plate. You have to have these letters on your car, debadged or not, so why not make it either car or person specific?

Likewise with cars with M3 xxx etc that appear to be wrong car, I suspect the xxx part is more important to the driver.

Not something I would do personally(mainly due to cost), but certainly understand why you would want numbers/letters you are forced to have stuck your car mean something to you or your car.
