Meenzer 14069 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 If you're mega-rich then fair enough, but it feels a little desperate when it's one of us plebs doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I had one a few years back on my Civic Type-R that cost me £250 off the DVLA which went with the car when I sold it. They do look ok on half decent cars as long as theyre not fucked about with too much with illegal spacing/lettering etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34632 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 My mate has one that's been valued in the tens of thousands (his dad bought it when he was 6). If I was him I'd be getting shot and paying a chunk off my mortgage or something. Total waste of money imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I asked about car specific ones is that MY07 CTR is available. I had an 03 plate (old shape one). Ive not driven the new one yet so cant really comment on it other than to say then engine is pretty much the same as the old one (same 2 litre engine). I think they have lowered the point that the VTEC kicks in a bit and made a few tweaks here and there. As for the body shape Im still undecided about it. Im going to wait until the new Type-R comes out in March and go from there. I had a lot of fun in my Type-R when I had it. I ended up spending about 3 grand on various mods before selling it for an RS Focus. The gearbox in the CTR is brilliant (I think its the same one in the new model). All I would say if you do get one is to check the oil regularly as they tend to be a bit thirsty on the oil front sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6308 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I think the worst examples are when people have a private plate on a shit car. I once saw a private plate on an old Austin Metro which was rusting as it moved. Fuck's sake man, spend the money on a better car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invicta_Toon 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 DVLA have blacklisted all the naughty combinations, so there's not much point tbh there are cheaper ways of telling everyone what your middle initial is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34632 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Saw a bloke yesterday with one that read BARRY. It was almost impossible to work out what the original number plate had been because of the pissing about he'd done with the letters/numbers. I'm pretty sure it was R17 BRY, but the vertical part of the 7 went straight up instead of being diagonal, and the horizontal part was dead short. He then had a bolt inbetween the 1 and the 7 to complete his A. He'd pissed about with a bolt on the R to create a B as well, and done something with the B to turn it into an R. And all this effort so that everyone could be sure that he has a shit name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
