If it's not going on an 02 registered or newer car then you won't be allowed to put it on dude.

Therefore I vote "no" as you wouldn't be able to put it on the E30 :lol:

dont get any of the cheap shite DAZ 2468 or BAZ 1874 type number plates theyre just sad. and if youve got to explain what a private plate says then its shite,it should be obvious.thats just my opinion though winkeye

private plates can look quality its a case of getting the right one tho!

Ive got B67 DAV as a private plate thats is up for sale (pm me if ya names dave lol). Its a good plate if ya name is dave but to me its usless. Bloke in ice direct put dave down on my receipt cause he saw the plate and had to change it.

I've spent the weekend trying to justify to myself the purchase of

ALP 111A Looks like ALPINA with a fixing screw.

But it comes with a heavy price tag Ԛ£0000's !!!!!!!!

Anything Northern Ireland is completely council. I only do one number three letter plates like UWX8 and 5KXO........both of which I own anyway........
:cool:

Anything that spells your name is completey rank, and deeply sad. So your E30 is on an E plate - so what, it's an old car now and proud of it!

ditto my motors wear the F-plates with great pride amongst the 51 to 55 plate nobbas

saw a nice green A reg 320 today, which actually didn't look that rusty!

I saw a bentley once with BIG GUN on it. TWAT was the first thing i thought of.

IMO a private plate should be slightly subdued. I.E something with your initials in G25 GJC would be nice!! (i just made that up by the way!)

personally i think irish plates just make the car look moody, like your trying to hide the age for some strange reason. its the sort of thing some wanna-be rich bloke does to his jag.

i went for a low letter + low number combination and my initials. D6 DPH looks good as far as i am concerned

I got J7 OCB on my van, but it was cheap (Sub 1k) and it is my DOB, (7th of Jan) and my initials. Also, if you get a decent plate its is very unlikely to ever lose any money. My uncle bought a plate for Ԛ£500 10yrs ago, worth nearly Ԛ£5k now.
