Personal number plates

Just wondering how many people have personal plates, and what sort of thing they have on them? Especially if they're Coupe related, as I see a lot of FCCUKers with private plates.

I'm clearly not expecting people to list their reg numbers for obvious reasons (unless they particularly want to ), but just wondered who has a personal plate, and why they picked it.

Mine has the reg letter and a distinctive number followed by my initials - nothing spectacular, but exactly what I wanted

I think the less numbers and letter you have the more it cost. They can be silly money, nice to have one tho. I have my mind on pther things tho to be fair.

My moms cost a bit and it is GJT 170, changed it a bit for obivus reasons.

My friend, gaz has one saying GAZ 1234 same as above. Don't know how much that one was tho.

I'd like somehting like that. Never really fancied a personal reg plate but the coop is getting a bit old now and a private reg disguises the age a bit. Only the other day my mate commented "I didn't know your coop was so old"

i had one that came with the car but to be fair it now looks like a n reg not a r reg lol
i will space the letters out more to make it look like a private plate but unless its something cool i can't really see the point.

Joe has the plate that i want!

My plate is the same as my username.

Ross

p.s. thats because i had ADHD.

mine looks like my name, the car did come with L18ANE but sold that.

I have one of the *2OVT plates.

The following all used to be on Coupés;

A 2OVT
B 20VT
C 2OVT
P 2OVT (Thanks Joe )

And the following are all still available on the DVLA website

E2OVT
F2OVT
V2OVT
W2OVT
X2OVT
Y2OVT

I've got P20 VT here in the yard, registered to a Nana.

I have one which kind of spells my name and the numbers used reference's my D.O.B

I have D4N **. I wanted the ** to be the initials of my middle name and surname but that wasn't available, but it is still relevant to my name.

There's a sprint blue which I see fairly regularly around Hereford, driven by a women with dark hair, registration is COUPE.

Anyone on here?

My plate as follows *** *** Says it's a coupe 20v limited edition

That should be enough information, to nearly work it out

What colour are the wheels? Might be a bit too far down for it to be Theresa though .

My reg has my initials for the last 3 characters. I couldn`t think what to start it off with so I decided to go with Kim`s initial followed by a 20 .

M 20VT was also on a Forum Coupe, I tried to by it but the transfer was too complicated

Mine "nearly" spells my forum name and is now on the GT.

My reg is J500 UPE, Which can be made to look like COUPE.
It was on the can when i purchased it

I have L3 TUR on my LE

I really would like to sort a private number plate in the future. I've looked into it before but found that all the plates with STU in them are mega expensive.

I'll be finishing my PhD soon so think I'll get a plate with PHD in there instead. I think that will look pretty cool and I can get one for under £500.

How much has everyone spent on their plates?

Definately not me, don't even know where Hereford is

My plate is G6UPE. I chose it because it was about 3K cheaper than C6UPE

My plate on my Fiesta was A12 TVC, which is my house number and initials, but didn't think until I got rid of the plate, that TVC also stands for Twenty Valve Coupe and had already bought G6UPE

I just changed my name to N707GLF!

I got given mine as a present but its my nickname

I could never get my nickname on a number plate, the DVLA remove all plates with rude words

My 16VT came with N77 ATS, didn't really notice it was a private plate until I got the V5 through and saw it was actually a '96 car. No significance to me unfortunately.

I was behind a white van this morning and its plate was my postcode with the addition of a P on the end. Which is fine as my surname begins with P.

We had a private plate on our family car for a while until a new one was purchased; thereafter i decided to transfer it on my moonie, so that no ones know her age.. it still pulls looks as some people think its a new car..

Anyway, mine has 6 digits, 3 letters and 3 numbers..and cost quite a bit..so investment now

A bit of history that it has come from Irish undercover cop car..so i am told by a few people..

p.s. it not coop related..but i added a line underneath stating model and type of car

Just keep a close eye on your rear view mirrors and don't park outside any dodgy night clubs

i've just bought one K2UPE for £300 all in, don't know if thats a good price or not
i'm just waiting for it to be transfered anyday now.

Mine's N9 50UPE

Self-explanatory, really - £250 DVLA bargain

I would have liked "N19" or "N16" but both had already gone

If anyone has a g/f they want to get rid of, the following number plate is available :

K155 HER

Only about £365 !

i was going to buy the mrs a private plate for her birthday next month.
when she gets back from work later i'll ask her about this one.

I was behind a 3 series bmw with "JEDI 30E" the other day

I had to take a pic it was very cool

I've had C4LM X (or C4L MX) for years not even on a car. It came off my old California MX-5. I don't think I'll get much for it but I really should make time to start advertising it.

Find out what it's worth (Approx) here

I would like to have 80LAS but its not available

I saw a porshe 911 in Glasgow with plate DL1 my initials

Surely K155 ASS would be better?

I'd love T24PPY but it's not available.

I can have T22PPY, T23PPY, T25PPY and T26PPY, but not T24. Real annoying, but my car is an S reg so I couldn't have it anyway

Mine is N91 PYM Came with th car. No significance to me

I've had my A7AFR for about 13 years now and it's been on all my cars bar the vectra I have now as it will be going on the new coupe.
I like the shorter number plate you are allowed with only having one number on the front of the coupe.

you can have a shorter one can you? Do you know what size it is?! I have wanted one for a while now (i might make it a bit thinner too ... shhh)

can't remember the exact size but it's called the "short standard" if memory serves me right

ooooo thanks, i will have a look for one.

craigs plates do them

350mm long, will be getting some for the coupe eventually

nice one, thanks coupedave

Mine is P 6 SYS which is good for me Paul G Sys** had it for years now cost a fortune on transfer fees but cant seem to let it go now!

No worries

Howza about F14T CP ? probably quite cheap. My coupe came with a private reg, the previous owner could not be bothered with the hassle of transfer, not really my cup of tea - but its there.

Ideally I would have liked an english/welsh 3letter/3number combo. Not that keen on the NI set as they nearly always have Z's in the reg.

At this stage I would rather get the mechanicals right first.

£685 to you Sir
