The missus found it on eBay, the scooter it was on was up for MOT very soon and wouldn't have passed so the plate needed to shifted quick hence the price.

All from a legit place too, just cost me £36 plus the transfer fees. It's even got 36 in the numbers lol

As mentioned, they are a great way of concealing the age of your car, but they're a ball ache when having to transfer vehicles. My plate has seen four bumpers now. Having the plate personalised to you rather than the car is certainly the way to go! Saw a 1 series bmw with 'S3 ***' :undecided:

How about this for a factory plate

GTI is not a trim level. It is a lifestyle.

I like plates that are shorter, ie. Have 5 or 6 characters. IMO if it has 7 digits it can just look almost too standard.
