I've been tempted to get a private plate for years now but after dithering for ages, the one I wanted is no longer available (K4 MTX) so I was thinking of a cheeky sporty one that teases the person behind in the spirit of 80s comedies. I always remember a Porsche 911 with the plate BY3 BYE in a film I can't remember and want something similar.

I've been thinking XX BYE or something along the lines of S33 YA (not available). Any ideas? Not looking to fiddle spacing or adding strategic screws! I think these sort of plates are more acceptable to the PH mentality biggrin

Others I've seen are

S23 YOU
T700 SLW
S2 EEU (S2E UU but too risky)

I would love B3 BYE but it's not available frown

To be honest, and please don't take this wrong, but all of the above are squinty, half-baked versions of the phrases you want. That sort of plate needs a lot of money thrown at it to be "proper". Can get hold of some decent ageless plates for similar money though.

Plates like that are incredibly car dependent as well. Needs to be something with the performance to back up the 'claim' the plate makes otherwise it all looks a bit laughable.

Surely TO05 LOW woulbe better, even better when spaced illegally as TO0 5LOW

Be prepared for a picture of your car in one of the two threads running on here already about PP's - which one would be entirely at the discretion of the PH community

That tickled me too, I didn't ROFL though, just a small snigger. Sporty plates indeed, he'd be better off saving the money and painting go-faster stripes on his car. If you want to tease the person behind just get a bumper sticker saying "your mother is fat" or similar. Sporty plates. Pfft.

That was the best way to describe it!

As in a plate for a reasonably fast/performance car

May I ask what car this sporty plate would be going onto?
