Real Good Number Plates : Vol 4
Discussion
Defender driving around Welwyn with W31 WYN on it. However rather than the traditional square Landy plate, its sporting a straight plate repositioned on the rear door with an additional number plate light installed, good plate but should have left it where it was.
TEW 1N is also around here on a Merc. I think Marty Wilde owns this.

Given your username, why am I not surprised that you decided to post this one, and also the Jag one from last week, in this thread and not the other thread with all the other crappy ones 
I didn't post the Jag, it was user E500 TAT who posted that. Edited by AlexRS2782 on Friday 13th September 22:50

Try the other thread. 
If it's spaced as you've posted it's illegal so that's where it belongs, not here. 
king sad old man aren't you Forget the insults and listen: In defence of Real Good plates, Real Good plate owners and this thread I'll explain.
In just the same way as any light switch can only be on or off, any registration number can only be displayed in a legal or illegal format. That's an actual fact and not a matter of opinion and anybody who gets abusive about an actual fact is really just revealing what an idiot they are.
Providing it's completely legal and has a BS mark to prove it a registration may or may not be Real Good. Deciding if it is or is not will depend on opinions and not actual facts and we'll have hours of fun arguing about that on here. But the moment a registration is displayed illegally it crosses the line and becomes a Chavplate. Therefore it belongs in the other thread where we can all que up to take the piss out of it.
No matter how rude or how dyslexic or how much it cost, by misrepresentation Chavplates are imitating Real Good plates, they aren't the genuine thing at all but are trying to give the impression that they are. Passing off a imitation as genuine is typical of the shallow minded vanity and egotistical nature of the Chav mentality - hence the fake Rolex and fake tan anology I've used before.
Choosing a Chavplate also clearly demonstrates the Platee places his own personal vanity and ego needs above any need to comply with the legal requirements the rest of us choose to respect. In effect Chavplaters are saying sod the law - I'll just go ahead and do whatever suits me instead. That's my real problem with Chavplates - the general Chav mentality that causes them to exist in the first place.
So no, no illegal registration can ever be considered Real Good. No compromises, no exceptions and certainly no strategically placed bolts. Anybody who thinks otherwise and defends Chavplates is both compromising every single genuine and legally displayed Real Good registration and at the same time confirming they have a tragically Chav mentality themselves too.
Do you mean "BS AU 145d"? Several online plate makers will print that on any plate you like, legal or not...Well that's what it's for of course - to confirm the plate complies with the legal requirements. If it's being used incorrectly then that's just another twist on Chav misrepresentation. Online plate makers facilitate the DVLA selling Chavplates in all but name - they conveniently get round the requirements for supplying a legally formated plate carrying a legitimate BS mark by calling them "showplates" and can then make up absolutely anything the customer asks for.
The result is there's an unofficial car "show" every day in every Essex car park...

==Both of these DVLA auction suffix plates were photographed in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, during this summer. I think the quality and value of the plates offsets the poor photos!==
Don't suppose you saw the green VW Scirocco that had TE10 NBY on it? I thought it was excellent, I saw it parked down in the docks back in July - didn't get a pic.E500 TAT said:
Saw HOT 41R in Scotland last week, pointed it out to my mate and asked is that meant to say hot air as we overtook it then noticed the black VW van in front with BA11 ODN on it.
I'd say they belong here, the first one in particular.Second one is a nice fun plate and assuming it's correctly spaced, right font, I think it's pretty cool.

Hi OGR4M,Yes, I know who the owner is, it's a local car which I see all the time. I personally think it's awful! No better than any run-of-the-mill standard DVLA issue. TE10 NBY is one of quite a few plates owned by Tenby people attempting (and failing miserably) to get the town on their plate.
TE11 NBY on a pickup and TE12 NBY on a BMW are two that spring to mind, and T3 NOY (with a dodgy bolt to make the O look like a B) is also doing the rounds, as is T1 NBY.
One attempt I have also seen is TEN 13Y.
The whereabouts of T3 NBY (On BMW X5 accordingly) and TEN 8Y (on an eighteen year old Volvo tipper) is unknown - I'd say they are about the only acceptable forms of representing Tenby on a plate, though the fact I've never seen them would suggest to me they aren't owned in the Tenby locality.
