Ah, so it's made to read as M2 one off, so maybe it has M2 parts on it ? (no doubt taken from some poor sods stolen M2 as always)

Nothing, the poster was using his own car to illustrate the pointlessness of the debate about zeros and O's looking or not looking the same earlier in the thread.

I'm pretty sure that plate is being displayed illegally anyway, for a different reason.

If the plate/car is an 03, then the car should be displaying plates with the post 2001 50mm wide font, which that appears not to be. It looks like it's using pre 2001 57mm width fonts, which technically, is actually illegal.

Sometimes the C124PPY is legal and very subtle.

DVLA says M4 OBV is on a yellow M5?

What have I missed? smile
I didn't look it up, it was the "M4 Obviously" on an M5 that caught my attention and was what I felt was a bit crap, it definitely wasn't yellow though.
Looks like the M5 was either previously wrapped yellow, then returned to the original silver colour in the pic, or alternatively was originally yellow and is now wrapped silver - but in either case probably not updated the change on the V5.
This looks to be BMW Moonstone Metallic. I used to own an E92 325d Coupe in the same colour which was also registered with the DVLA as yellow. In certain lights it did have a very obvious yellow tinge but I would have definitely described it as a silver colour overall. It’s unlikely this M5 has any dubious wrapping history, it’s probably just registered as yellow from new, perhaps oddly by BMW?

It is a lovely colour, however. Sometimes looking silver, sometimes yellow and at times even blue, depending on the light that’s hitting it.
Cheers - makes sense thumbup

J ZOE C on an older shape (mid - late '00's) Range Rover that had been given the usual front / rear light, vent, grille & badge mods to try to make it look like a newer model.

Plate was obviously J2 OEC with the 2 given a reasonable bit of squaring off in an attempt to turn it into a makeshift Z.

From a random Facebook feed.

Ignoring the spacing issue -, can anyone guess what car this is?
The owner is obviously concerned nobody can see the badging.

Or proving that in fact they are exactly the same. wink

If that’s the best he’s got, then obviously a plate company to avoid. Talk about negative publicity.
