They've been on there for just over a year. I bought up the one's I'm interested in 13 months ago!
BM (my initials) had already gone then.

It costs very little to change your name by deed poll.

Hmm... mine is available... is it wrong to get E3OOL... what are the rules about spacing anyways? I'm sure you can't just put spaces in where you want...

No you can't, but you run the risk of having the space with E30 0L... But you can get a set of plates made on Ebay for the price of £10 posted, with E3 OOL, just incase you get pulled over, atleast you can change them over...

I've never been fond of fiddling license plates to try and make them say things - it's great if the plates spell something without any changes, but once you start making the plates borderline illegal I don't think it's worth the hassle. Same with pressed plates. I wasn't interested in the aggro of being pulled over just for the looks, but now there are legal ones I'm seriously considering getting a set made up.

Places like dubmeister do UK legal pressed plates... they use the UK font and conform to all regulations, except they are infinitely cooler than the plastic stuff.

I plan to have 2 sets of plates one leagal for the mot and the other for genral use. The amount of use my e30 gets I very much doubt that I'll get pulled. If I do the fine will be insignificant compared to the fule cost anyway!

I got E3 OBW. MS (my initials) was taken so BW was as close to BMW I could find.

E3O BW will look fairly cool I think. I was considering E3O YM as in my e30.

They have E3 OPC, E30 + my initials. But I would rather spend the money on something useful.
