Title: cool (or not! depending on ya tastes!!) number plates...... and legal!!
Post by: NicolaLane on 22 January 2006, 09:18
got myself some new number plates this week! i went onto a design your own plates website

www.demonplates.co.uk (http://www.demonplates.co.uk)

they do offer all the non road legal stuff as well, but do make it very clear what is legal! so you can't go wrong! i was very impressed! plus i ordered them thursday night and they were here saturday morning! :smug:

anyway heres mine

Think Chavfords sell those ones and the lettering behind makes them illegal sorry but German plates for me as above poke the law with a sharp pointy stick! BTW German plates are perfectly legal!! the Typeface is the correct size and spacing they're E marked and they're Reflective as long as the colours are correct white front yellow rear so there really is rod all they can do unless you try to go abroad!!!

Germans are illegal cause they got the D on the left I think :undecided:
All we are meant to have legally is a GB or the Euro Flag star thing :undecided: :undecided: :undecided:
Title: Re: cool number plates...... and legal!!
Post by: Dizzie on 22 January 2006, 22:18
having the D on the end is just as illegal as having the VW sign or whatever else isn't  GB or euro flag.

German plates also have the wrong font and more often than not the spacing is wrong.

But it doesn't stop the german plates being v.cool, especially the one with the ':' seal!!!

opinions are like arseh@les, everyone has one.. thats why we are all different.

i think the german plates are cool... but at the end of the day they are just a bit of punched metal or plastic. lets face it any number plate spoils the look of the car..
only have them on a car cause we have to.

is it me or are some peeps getting a bit humpy on here.
just an observation.

to be honest dude theres too many people on here that think they know best when they dont know any where near enough.if some one likes sumik then thats there choice!but to basicaly come out with no theyre crap is out of order.i know it wasnt said in them words but thats how it has come across.i agree plates dont do anything for the look of your car but if you like them then thats all that should matter!

i think forum regulars etc are being fuddled up with mods......... :huh:

and yeah it isn't nice when your car (or parts of it) are slated, makes a girls reluctant to share in the future......  :sad: don't get me wrong i don't mind people giving opinions but as my dear old Nan used to say "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" and i think we'd all do well to remember that lately....... :lipsrsealed:
Title: Re: cool number plates...... and legal!!
Post by: Agreeable Slick on 23 January 2006, 12:51
thing is when you place something on a public forum you cannot expect everyone to like it, and whether it is good or bad feedback from people its what you like so what does it matter what others think?  So it might be better if people took things at face value as a pose to reading waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay between the lines.

your nan was right,
i will keep that in mind,
i cant apoligize enough.

each to there own! i dont see why people are kicking off! if you like something thats up to you, and its good people put links to sites, you may find something you like or not! but hey, more love!  :grin:  :rolleyes:

Post by: silkyballs on 23 January 2006, 14:59
slick your trouble is,is that you dont think befor you open your mouth your replies and comments come across as cocky,bulshie,and way out of line!sorry dude but its true as i keep being told after our recent rattle.
if you dont like sumik,do you really have to say?wouldnt it be best to say nothing?feed back is what we come here for but being negative all the time is pointless!if youre gonna be negative  dont bother.yes people wanna know what people think but those people dont need to be saying theyre sh!t!etc etc.
as a woman and to comre on here and put some pics up of her new plates that shes really happy and to also put up the link is wicked for others that like them not to be shot down in flames with people say they are crap.im using this as an example so dont think im having a pop carl cos im not dude its just seems to be in general.

Post by: Agreeable Slick on 23 January 2006, 15:32
It's not my trouble at all, it's how i have been since i joined here and nothing is going to change that. As i said to nic playing the woman card is just not going to cut it, whether you are male or female the response would be the same.

So if i am not going to lick someones arse cos i prefer something else i am meant to be all nicey nicey about it?? Not a chance, it's a public forum where everyone is entitled to a say, whether it be good or bad. If people don't like hearing the truth plain and simple and not wrapped up in a cotton candy shell then don't post. I'm not going to pretend to be something i am not. We can go round in circles about this as much as you like, bottom line is i say what i think, i don't say things to make sure i protect peoples feelings.

dude i think its fine you put up your opinion, thats your choice, i am sure other people would like those plates and i am sure they would have said, thats what this forum is about! i think this is a storm in a tea cup! new years blues!  :smiley:
