I saw, this morning, badly (or should I say, un) spaced, S3 NNA, on a small insignificant hatchback that I can't recall.

Couldn't decide whether that one was cool or crappy. Must be worth a fortune either way, I guess.

Definitely cool.

Senna. S3 NNA. See the difference?

Illegal and illiterate. Definitely the right thread.

This one didn't get the attention it deserved first time round

I agree with all your comments in this thread so far, but I'm struggling to see what's wrong with S3 NNA.

Or is a parrot imminant?

I presume it is because the plate is spaced illegally thus S3NNA? Possibly with inappropriate (and therefore illegal) screws etc. in itself the plate correctly spaced would not be unacceptable. But S3NNA never.

I think I mis-read CAPP0's original post.

As you were....

Minor transgressions re spacing. But just WHY?

Each of these would look pretty good (much better, even) if properly spaced.





Or have I missed some deep and significant meaning?

That's an E46 is it not, probably worth a few more quid to an M5 owner that plate!

Nope, no parrots. Nothing wrong with S3 NNA of course, it's just one of a sequence of numbers showing when and where the vehicle it was first assigned to was registered and provides a means of identifying the current keeper and is correctly displayed.

If shown as posted - S3NNA - then no spacing makes it illegal and implying the number 3 is actually the letter e makes it illiterate.

Fail on two counts. If the Platees intention is to imply he's some sort of reincarnation of a late racing driver and therefore a driving god then that's a third IMO.

Saw M155 YOU on a 1 series BMW last night. Wasn't illegally spaced as no need and didn't look hideous to be fair.

Should be in the other thread?

There's a bird in a newish Fiesta that's been coming down our road recently.

The plate is something like N136 ABC with the '1' slanted, and 2 or 3 screw caps to completely butcher the plate into reading MEG.

I'll have to try to get a photo - it's horrendous!

This thread needs a sticky at the top of every page: "To qualify for inclusion on this thread, plates must be either: 1. Mis-spaced. 2. Have extra screwcaps/hardware/marks to change the lettering or add punctuation. 3. Use an illegal font or have the characters butchered in some way."


Yes that does make me a thread Nazi but seriously, a good few examples on this page alone have absolutely nothing wrong them.

Parked next to me in Hockley this morning.

There was a rumour going around a couple of years ago that you had two strikes on illegally formatted number plates.

First strike, you got a fine and a 'fix it' notice.

Second strike, the DVLA rescinded the plate from the vehicle and reallocated the original VRM, or if is WAS the originaly VRM, issued a new age related plate.

It should be put into force.

I had to go into the description to see what it should be, then I went back to the photo to see how they'd butchered it.

Shocking, absolutely shocking.

I can't really work out what it is - C4 LDE?

I know I am late on this, but for fek's sake...How can you even think that representing a 4 as an H in that way is either a) legal and b) not an indication to the world that you are an utter tool?? And TWENTY GRAND!!!!!!! But apparently it's unique...
