all above plates are relevant to either owner or car which is great, the original plate being discussed on ebay is crap(personal opinion of course)

One thing I don't get is the combination of a private plate and tinted glass.
If you want them to know it's you, why not let them have a good look and be sure about it?

Personally think he was doing you a favour mate " s110oby " whats that meant to say ?? unless you can turn the numbers into the letter c then its to me does not look anything out the ordinary ?!

the only thing with the plates that have to be spaced out is sooner or later you will get pulled for them and when they go back to standard your £500 investment was not such a good idea after all !!!!

Best ones I ever seen were the ones being sold by Newreg I think it was :

not exact but similar to these :

s600byy
s60bay
s600byy
etc

£140 + transfer fee last time I looked

my other half bought mine for a present, S555 ESC. i like it as to most people looks a normal plate, but means something to me. Even though i dont have a scoob anymore still use it on my current car, reminds me of the good times in the sccoby

Plates are definitely a personal thing, I have an NI (3 letters 4 numbers) plate on mine, which is personal to me as my grandad gave me a car and it was on it so I transfered it over.

Friend of mine bought a mk1 Golf Gti with the plate A105 TVW for a very low price, kept it for a while and then sold the plate for a mint. Had it spaced to read A 105T VW, never seemed to get pulled
