plates

HI I have found a plate that fits for my mother and father in-law, and its available from the DVLA, is it better to buy direct from them or from a registration plate dealer? like Newreg or registration transfers? Regards Tan

Hi We are looking to buy an Irish registration plate for my in-laws, as we want their initials that are MNI. I have trawled through loads of plate companies but not yet found the right plate or a company I trust, as the companies that I have used in the past don't have the plates that I am...

This may be around the site somewhere, but I can't find it. Apologies if it is. www.ChavPlates | Template If the c(r)ap fits. Tremendous Fun! Cheers, Paul

i'm after a cheap plate with maybe my initials just to take the age off the car. there are some bargains to be had in ebay. just wondering what forms i should make sure the plates come with, if there is anything else to watch for, and any DVLA registration costs. thank you

Hi All, I wonder if any of you can help me. I need to know how to trace an old number plate that was on my husbands car. he lost it about 6 yrs ago, we sold the car it was on and due to my son having a serious illness we totally forgot to send off the transfer documents. I have applied to...

Both number plates need replacing on the W123 - They're both acrylic, (without the GB logo) but are cracked and faded. I want to replace them with pressed metal ones. They suit the cars age. Still yellow/white, but using the pre 2001 font - like the yellow one in the photo. Technically, I...

Some *** has stolen the registration plates off my car. The plates were there last night, but this morning they were gone. I have reported it to the police, now I have to go through the hassle of ordering new plates 

Just curious whats happening in 2010 when the first 2010 plate is due, ie 2009 was 09 and 59 what will the plates be for 2010? Lynall

I have someone who wants to buy the carbon fibre look (avantgarde) door trims off the W210. Three are in good condition (although the driver's one has some wear) and one rear one has a stone-chip-spider's-web rust spot. Picture here for clarification of the part. So, what's a fair price for...

OK, by popular request, this should be the new thread for new finds of number plates. - In pure men in black style, clear any memory of past findings.. lets make this a useful current resource opposed to a historical memory Jot pad! House rules. Number 1: Only post the cherished plates you...

I have seen a number plate which I like however I don't like the price tag! Now I know a number plate is 'only worth what someone is willing to pay' etc etc but if it is advertised at a price they are hardly going to drop the price by a couple of grand are they? Anyone had any experience of...

I just had a call from Car Registration Transfer who about 3 years ago, i gave my Number Plate S55 PUR to put up for possible sale, (not put it on my SL yet.). Here is my questions. They offered me £1,950 of the supposed £2,220 they have been "provisionally offered" (whatever that means?). How...

Interested in a iom reg car would i be legal to drive it home then reregister it if need be? Lynall

Looking for "economy downturn/reccession" busting mods, i found this website: http://www.demonplates.com/platebuilder.php Not a bad price really. Just wondering if they are legal or not? I like the black border and panel on the left of the plate, with the GB, EU stars and the MB star. But...

I am wondering whether to go for a current style reg plate with "SLK" as the last 3 letters. They are all listed at £785 on the DVLA site. As someone entirely new to the world of personalised plates I was wondering if this is a bit pricey and nothing more than pure profiteering. There are plenty...

So, what do people think about buying these kind of plates as an investment? I'm thinking of buying one for that reason myself. The one I'm thinking of isn't name based, it's a generic one (like Paul Daniels' MAG1C), so I'm not restricted to finding a potential future buyer with the right...

I've seen a few black bmw's around with them on...however just done a google search and they are only legal on pre 1972 cars. Does anyone have black number plates on the mercs? I think they'd look awesome on a black ML. whats your thoughts on this? cheers

Does anybody know how to remove W202 AMG cill kick plates? I can't work out if they clip in place or if they are bonded. I don't want to go down the brute force route as they may bend etc...
