Nath > true enough!! Theiving barstewards

AND, because it's that price with them that's why I've had it for over a year and not had any interest . Methinks I shall put it up for sale privately.

Plate is S118 ARU would read subaru if a screw was placed in the right position but the robbing git wants 7 grand for it on newreg.co.uk

Well, if you think it is a good plate, then maybe it is worth the money being asked.

Can't see the attraction myself. Surely the car already says "SUBARU" on the back as it is ?

Cheers

Try www.dvla-som.co.uk

They've got plates from £250, I've just had a quick look and you could alter the way it reads quite nicely!

*lol* £7k, rediculous.

I've currently got a plate up for sale and Newreg are 'dealing' with it, but they take a large cut, and let's face it, the things are only worth what someone is willing to pay.

Out of interest my plate is K99 JOY, will happily see the back of it for £300

Cool

Not a rip off at all. If someone pays the money then they must think it's VFM. Paid nearly 6K for mine but i have it for life, unless............?

sad?? You may think but it's one way of making money if you choose correctly. I have access to a pair which cost £1500 and £4000 on their own but as a pair are valued at £30K. What are mods costing £000's worth!!
