opinions on reg plate please

[pinkchim]

found a good plate for my pearlescent magenta (read dark pink to be honest)chimaera. "P111NK X" . Now I think its good but certain (non TVR owning) friends think its naff, all honest opinions gratefully recieved before I probably buy it anyway!

Cheers

Hmmmm. I like plates that read something but it does sound a bit girlie to me, like asking for a Pink Gin

Which reminds me of a guy here who had a Sierra Cossie with AM P15T

It would have to be cheap, because unless you are keeping the Chim for ever transfering the plate on to a silver Cerbera (for example) is going to look daft and if it goes with the car when you sell it, it adds no value to it

A bit of fun - but of course, get ready for the "well have the ignition timing sorted then" kind of jibe!
I agree that it would have to be o9n a pink ish car tho - so plan to sell it with the car, unless you think pink is a kind of life statement, and your next one will be pink too!

[pinkchim]

yes it is cheap £250 from dvla, so dont intend to keep the plate, just a bit of fun on a pink car! Cheers anyway

I've got P11PLE on a purple tiv, it sometimes needs explaining that P11PLE looks like PURPLE, but once people get it they really like it. It was a DVLA cheapie (I wouldn't have paid top cash for it) and I think it is much better than the standard issue plate. It is a bit cheeky too which I think suits the car well.

I see a dark blue Corvette on the M3 some mornings that has the plate
TE51 CLE

Looked at first glance like Testicle !!!!!!

You have to be careful as any plate that relies on the spacing to look right is illegal. What I mean is that the reg. you are looking at is P111 NKX and depending on where you live and how zealous the local coppers are they can make you display it properly or have the DVLA take it off you.
I'm sure this has been covered before, but it's something to bear in mind.
