my scooby came with the plate M500WRX...i gues that might be worth something to someone with a 500hp wrx scoob..??...might try and sell it too release some funds for the inevitable maintenance the car will surely need...or just keep it to help the equally inevitable resale haha

what does the 'H' stand for? The 'H' doesn't stand for anything, it's just the oldest prefix style plate I could find at the cheapest price. obviously the rest "20 VTP" stands for 20 valve turbo plus! I'm hoping when I get the plates made up at Halfords I can slightly space the 20VTP further out from the H!

I've got R77 HOT on my Coupe, not by choice and private plates are not really my thing but I got the car with it.
I'm thinking of selling it if anybody is interested in the plate drop me a PM.

However there are sellers on Ebay which offer show plates which can have spacing altered. For when you're not on the public highway of course! Disclaimer: DVLA do not allow plates to be modified to appear to read as something else. This despite the fact that those plates which can be are more expensive

I believe it's now illegal to make 'show plates', too... can't recall where I saw it, though. Ooops. Behind the curve again! Though that would explain why the plate maker at the NEC on sat wouldn't make up plates without proof of ownership!

I suppose it could stand for Hampshire, so your plate could mean ''Hampshire's 20 valve turbo plus.''

I was loving the car a little too much on the way home after that photo was taken. Got pulled by the traffic cops whilst on the motorway but was let off with a warning (I've only had her 3 months as well, not good). My girlfriends name is Heather too! .. she wants a personal plate with Hev in. I keep telling her she'll have to buy her own car to do that as she's not allowed to drive mine

Looking very nice, Duncan. Great pics.
Love the anonymity that personalised plates give.
Those shut lines on the car are frikkin tops. Not having seen the car the car for a bit, I'd forgotten how good it looks.
Look after her for me please, there's a good lad..
Cheers, Hedge

Isn't that rather a contradiction in terms? Personally I've never seen the point of them, and consider the majority of cases with forced characters and incorrect spacing, well, silly. If it were possible - per the states - to get a single word of seven or eight letters, then I might see the sense of it, but otherwise? Why bother?

A great way to hide the cars age. An ever decepting way to add to the coupe's great dating looks.
Just one way to look at it.

I want to put "B12 GRR" on my 750i because F376 TJH is just rubbish... but I have better things to spend my £400 on at the moment.
Are plate makers allowed to make them shorter if you have less characters in them?

Yes, I forgot you guys dont like long words. I should have used the term "base". And no, I'm not looking forward to St Athan if we have to go there, but I'm looking forward to living next door to Lincoln for the next 18 months, quality night out.
