ive just bought a personal reg which i need to alter slightly
does anyone know a place that knows what im after its mainly turning a 5 into an s

 

If i was you i would be very careful as i know someone who did something to alter his personal plate and this was very minor he just put a number place screw in the 0 to make a c and was stopped by the police and had the plate withdrawn from the dvla.

If you wanted to do it speak to signmakers or one of these companys on the net that advertise for show plates

 

I got pulled for simply having the Subaru logo faded into the background on mine so ***** to changing letters etc.

I got mine online from Number Plates, show plates, Number Plate Makers

I'm now back to regular plates lol.

 

If you do change the 5 to an S, expect a pull every time you pass through an ANPR camera. Then you can come on and complain about being stopped when the police should be out catching burglars etc.
Personally, I wouldn't bother.

 

Honestly mate I wouldn't bother. What you're doing is illegal if you use it on road, I'd leave it as 5. The law seems to be clamping down hard on plates (spacing, logos, etc), it's probably due the increased use of ANPR cameras, it's got so bad that there are now some static cameras fitted to the main routes into my county!!

 

It is illegal but here's where to get it

just ordered it ill chance it and see how it goes, i live in a small village and dont use it for long runs so should be ok

 

this is the one

 

looks fine as is! why risk it??

 

thats how it will look i will make the 0 look like a c

 

As said mate, the old bill now have the power to conviscate the registration from you, its in the t&c's from dvla when you buy it. Looks cool as is, everyone will know what you would like it to say

 

id leave it as it is mate

 

i 2nd that .........plate looks good BTW

 

avoid motorways youll be fine imho
mine is butchered and never had any problems with local police

 

put a pic up mate lets have a look see

 

ill text it ya you put it up?

 

well heres mine never had any problem and plates only come off when at M.O.T then back on

 

let me get this right.

1, incorrect spacing
2, incorrect font
3, incorrect euro flag
4, illegal alteration x2
5, no bs mark in bottom right of plate
6, no manufacturers mark

if you get caught your 100% gonna get a fine or/and points

its really not worth it

and your fail an MOT

i got pulled with mine and he let me off, but mine is just spaced incorrectly


regardless of any changes you make dont forget to inform your insurance of the new reg, thats why i got pulled....pinged an anpr showing as no insurance as the insurance company still had my old registration number

 

heres my plate touch wood recieved no unwanted attention yet

 

all that swerly writing and you have never been pulled lol.

the police are not normally to bad unless your really taking the pi$$.

also the no BS thing in the corner only applies to cars registered after 2001

 

well i think the police should give you points,points for a top b0llock number plate ...........we all win

 

years ago i had a camaro with black and silver plates and i got 3 points and a £60 fine, got pulled twice in the same day with them

 

As i said in my first post this is exactly what my mate did and had it revoked. Why chance it when it looks fine. spacing etc the police will live with unless they are really funny but altering the text is a no go.

Lets just say your car was stolen and you reported it you will complain all day long the police cant find the car etc however because you have altered the plate the plate recognition the police use will not pick up the plate when your stolen car drove past one.

Quote from the dvla site - Warning: If you intend purchasing a DVLA registration to misrepresent it on your number plate, we would rather you did not buy.

 

i have had show plates on for 9 months and have not had no problems, not even normal text, front plate is tiny 13inchs long. if get caught £30 fine and ill change it simple. if they really bothered they can have it lol

 

This is often a topic of conversation with our friends, colleagues etc, as we have private plates on our business vehicles & now on my Scooby. I know we ought to get out more

Having attended the Gathering last year we were amazed at quite how many of the cars had illegal plates. I know some people were using 'showplates' due to the event, however I bet more than 50% of them were illegal!

Mine is (only slightly officer) but I bet there's more than one or two of you on here with 'dodgy' plates!

I think a poll is in order.................

 

I do not understand why people buy a plate and then try to make it look different. If you cannot buy the real thing, why try to be something its not. It must be something akin to a shortage in the trouser department

 

i changed my name to lj07 nue, saves a lot of hassle with the police, and it is interesting when at the doctors and they call Mr Ljo7 nue.

 

i had all my lettering close together, tosser wiv flashing light gave me £30 fine,told to change plates within 14 days or it'll be removed from dvla records

 

are you the guy from Nigeria that keeps requesting my bank details

 

pmsl.............
