thinking about putting a personal plate on my coop. nothing related to me but the car.
I'm thinking of getting "W20VTP" as it's 20v Turbo Plus. by having W it keeps the original plate year.
My sister has got an MG and bought hers with the MG in the plate which got me thinking about it, although part of me thinks it's a complete waste of 400 quid!
I think I've only seen 1 personal plate on a coop being an LE, so seemed appropriate. perhaps the turbo plus is just that not special enough to warrant it??

I've considered this option from time to time over the last year and have concluded that it is something of a waste of money as there are other things that I could spend that cash on to improve it mechanically.
That said I would still like one. From time to time, when I've had a few pints, I wheel the credit card out. I have, as yet, however not gone through with any sort of purchase.

All depends, could be viewed as a waste of money but if you have the cash and the plate means something to you then why not. I don't ever anticipate parting with mine, and under the circs I thought it was a bit of a bargain:

Thanks MrC, yes, it is a bit special, I still get a huge kick from driving it. Got to hand it to CarlT for the condition it's in today, wouldn't be there without him.

I liked the idea of a personalised plate as the design of the car still looks fresh, even after all these years. It de-ages the car and lets people who have "how old!" syndrome, see the car, not it's age. I agree a personal plate is portable , but there are no badges for people to say "Oh thats a......" so it might give them an idea whats just overtaken them I have an LE with the plate - F14T LE - It makes the car look showroom, so I'm pleased with mine, even if it does go with the car. I've had plenty of posative comments from other people about it, but at the end of the day, it's down to you and your budget.

I always quite fancied one but they used to be sooo expensive. However since the DVLA have latched on to them being a good money-making scheme I was amazed at how much they have come down in price and Mrs Nello is getting me a 5 digit plate for Xmas with my intitials on for not much more than £200!! This place are good : Private Plates They have the reg [ 20 V ] for just under £10K if anyones feeling flush! Remember seeing a fabbo Chrono LE with the reg C20V LE.............

Nello, are you ringing them or me?..... WOW ! By the way, their super looking deals of "Was xxxx now only xx" are nothing more than the various DVLA costs stripped out (and then added back in )

I have a personalised as below. Here in sunny Queensland, the cost varies from $415 (about 200 squids) to $2295 (approx 1000 squids) Cost depends on type of plate and combinations etc. http://www.ppq.com.au/CreateAPlate.aspxWe have a number in my family which mostly describe the model of Fiat the plate is on.

I purchased S111 SKH for my wife - her Initials are SKH But i think if correctly marketed can go for a little song To a Kebab King SHIIISKH Or if you are looking at it in another light - a member of the Indian community S111SKH (SIKH) Actually been approached by a couple of Indian folks about this...

Someone was selling OAN13L on ebay for ten grand or best offer. I offered £500 but didn't hear back which I thought was strange I have been stopped once for my plate as spaced D4N xx, and that was only because I ended up between 2 motorcycle officers out training. He was a good one though and gave me just a warning as the plate spelt Dan (well it doesn't, it clearly displays Delta Four November as I don't use dodgy screws). If you can afford one I'd get one, it makes your car more personal and individual, though this is something which the government don't seem to like.

I wanted to see if I could get T24PPY even though I can't use it on my current car (S reg). As it wasn't for sale anywhere, I did an insurance quote to find out what it was on: FORD FIESTA 1.4D (03 ON) GHIA 5DR 1398cc 5DR
F****** b****** thing...

Well, after having a tax rebate on last months paycheck I decided to waste it on a personal plate! I went for "H20 VTP" in the end, hides the year of the car and i tried to justify to myself that the fiat coupe is a rare car and the plus model/LE is even rarer and what with the car having had a full expensive respray and complete leather retrim, the plate finishes the car off style wise. cost £245 all in from the DVLA website, I considered "C20 VTP" but that was £390 and I didn't want to spend that much. thats the coops christmas present!
