Personalised Plates
Discussion
Just a quickie as have found a rather appropriate number plate for the toy.
I really am in two minds about private plates? Some look great, some just look awful. I dont mean one that has screws and warped characters to try and make a '3' an '8' etc but looking at something appropriate for the car encompassing initials.
Any thoughts? It's just something silly I always thought I would treat myself to....

Personal plates are sometimes bog all to do with disguising a car's age, mine certainly are ...
I sold the 911 plate that came with mine to put my own plate on ... my plates means nothing to anyone apart from me and I keep it simply because I like it and it has been on a lot of cars over the past 15 years or so. It's a little piece of my history.
When Gabby was born we bought ** GAB ... she cannot break it, lose it, have it stolen and it is hers for life. £450 for something that will last hopefully 70-80 years or more, not a bad buy in my mind.
Now we have Max I am on the hunt for a MAX plate ... I somehow think that it will cost a little more than Gab's!
As for mis-spelled, mis-spaced and generally tossed around with. Nah. If you want it to say something, buy the relevant letters!
I'm in the middle of purchasing an 850 and one dealer i rang was convinced that his car had a proper 850 plate - 850 XX ... er no, you mean B5 OXX

It certainly hides the age of the car,
why would you want to do that? without a plate anyone with some nouse could work it out to within 2 years just by looking at the carhttp://img454.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn0705l...

I just bought C2 GBG for my new 993. My view is - why not. It certainly hides the age of the car,

With regards to age, it makes your car look much older. A normal plate for a 993 would be L-R reg (1993 to 1998). The C reg plate is from 1986, so age wise according to the plate your car looks like an '86 model. That's 7-12 years older than it would with a proper age related plate.GG
The age related element was in fact hardly a factor in my choice of that number. The C2 followed by my initials was the clincher. As an aside, nobody would assume the car to be 'C; reg - unless they were a real numpty.
My point is that some people choose a non aging plate purely for that purpose. I considered that this one served both purposes.
