Hey All,
I have just purchased a private reg and need to get the plate made up. Any ideas on what looks best? I have seen some with borders some with the blue EU sign on the left and some just plain, what in your opinions look best?
-
a black boarder maybe but thats it... IMO, i dont like the logos etc.
-
I prefer boggo standard plates rather than adding borders, backing plates etc. The only type that betters them are the pressed German plates, but they aren't road legal :sad:
-
i have german plates and not even had a slap on the wrist, my opinion is that the police dont care.....around my area anyway :rolleyes: i also carry my legal plates in the boot incase i do get pulled i just say ive been to a show and forggoten to take them off. :wink:

Ha ha... LMAO.. That's exactly what I use to do with my smaller front number plate on my LCR..
I'm getting a private plate for xmas.. It'll be a short one so will be trimming the edges down, so it's a lot shorter than a standard plate and not illegal either (AFAIK), as letters are still to the standard..

The old bill would have a field day with you in my area Joe.

I'd love to put German style plates on but too scared that they'd slap 3 points on the spot. :cry:
-
yeah in London its like an instant flag to stop your car, I wouldnt get 2 miles down the road without some sort of attention from the plod if I had german style plates.

Sorry for the hijack but when you have visited your local DVLA office to register the private plate on your car do you have to instantly put the new number plate on? Or can you drive off and go to get the plate made after?
-
i think its regesterd on both plates as they do not disguard the old plate. :huh: :undecided:

You have a certain amount of time to put the new number on....48 hours or something.

Thanks folks :smiley:

DVLA will give you a new tax disc showing the new reg, however let them know ifyou haven't got them made up yet and they will let you keep your old disc until you replace your plates. (you will have to post the old disc back to them).
Just remember that your tax idsc must match your plates! Dont forget to tell the insure either :wink:

They told me 24 hours when I did mine, although I had them switched in 20min :smiley:

It could be, it is a while since I did mine and 48 hours was a guess but I knew there was some leaway on how long you had to change them over.
