Mr.Tremlini:
so the plate is yours for life? a bit like a motoring id card?
Basically correct. As an Auslander, as far as I know the only time you would give them back is if you sell your car and don`t buy another, then after a short time they must be returned. I have heard that you can pay a fee of some sort to keep your plates, sans vehicle, but I am not 100% sure on this.so the plate is yours for life? a bit like a motoring id card?
If you have given your plates back and later buy another car, you can request your old ones and if they are available you can have them, otherwise you get totally new ones.

I know. It is so easy to make fun of it, and believe me, moving from NZ to Switzerland came with a one year bedding-in/shock, horror, ridicule period... but I have to say once settled, most things make sense, everything works, stuff happens on time, and I pretend to understand it but in reality take the ostrich approach and pay my bills and enjoy the relative comfort of it all, but f
k me insurance costs a fortune!!

I am after a private plate for my v12 vantage if anyone has anything
SN 99 or 5000 SN would look great on your V12V.
If you have another initial it would be cheaper, if available.
The lucky people who can buy the cheapest dateless registration marks, have initials which happen to match the plates issued with 3 letters followed by 3 numbers.
In France, plates stays with the car forever.
So I could not choose anything on mine but the left and right eurostripes (black instead of blue) and the font, the same as UK plates. Technically, those changes are not accepted by law, you should just use fonts & colors approved by the French MOT, but if subtle and the plate is still easily readable, police won't care. Also, you can legally have whatever region you want on the plate, not just the one you live in.
I find it funny that I have the word Baka in it, meaning idiot/fool in Japanese. Hence I produced this.
