how many of you are runninig scooby plates ?
i have a p1 plate on my p1 , i fount a scooby plate on ebay for not alot of money .
what say you all , im intrested in finding out how many of you runn plates like this .

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2509904046...84.m1555.l2649

dont think it looks too bad on a plate ,
is it rite that the fees are all in payed when its on a retention sert ?

 

I don't like plates like that, they don't really spell anything unless spaced illegally, to me it reads you had that because it's cheap, but that's just my opinion

 

there ok if they have a meaning to you or your car

 

As above not keen and asking for a pull from plod, had a WRC plate on my old WRX which looked good and was not that expensive, or a WRX plate.

 

In my opinion private plates are okay its a personal thing, everyone will have their own opinion on them.
The link you added however that plate I think is rubbish and thats why its probably priced accordingly.
But as I said its all about your own opinion that's the one that counts imho.

 

my wife (judy bee) has jU07 BEE no messing about ,looks rite never had any greef from mr plod .
if it needs to be messed about with is it best left then we think.

 

If it don't make the car faster or more reliable then what's the point?

 

because its like modding, if its relevant to you or the car its no different to a new grill or graphics

 

I've got a private plate but it came with the car. I spells CUTE, CU07UTE. Been told its worth a few quid but with the recession prices have fallen. Now is the time to buy if you want one.

 

yup i paid £270 all in incuding transfer etc.

 

Not bad considering the transfer is about £80 I think they just make your car that little bit more personal.

 

Mines an old one from a 76 car. Ive had it years MEL 285P
not at all scooby related but its my name

Mel

 

i think most plates relate to peoples names, i got one relating to car and name but got lucky.

 

I have one but it`s not specific to the car, it`s my initials. If you buy a car specific plate and then at a later date, sell it...someone else gets the benefit where as one personal to you can be transferred

PS. that eBay one looks ****.

 

its gotta be a must i think iv wanted one for years, got a cuz that works for regtransfers so he always looks out for me somthing decent and somthing i can afford.

but think im gonna use any cash to add some well needed mods on my new baby rather have the performance then oooo!!! look at my fancy number plate.

 

yes but after you have modded the performance etc its an added bonus

 

yea thats a deff its like the icing on the cake

what would you say was the best thing you changed on your scooby that gave you the best increase in performance ?

 

i got S600BTT came with the car when i bought it 4 month ago, i like it, not really liking that tho, just my opinion.

 

spaced illegally is just asking for trouble

 

Ive got L555BA* on my 555

 

bigger turbo and remap

 

Suppose it's like having a Rolex when a Seiko will do the job, personal choice. Only in ths case the ebay plate mentioned by the OP is more like an expensive Timex IMHO LOL

Can think of better things to spend 200 to 500 quid on. Front mount intercooler? overhauled calipers? timing belt service? trip to the Nurburgring? Weekend away at Spa for the Grand Prix?




Whatever floats your boat I suppose

 

gotta say the plate mentioned above is poo

 

Of course if you have got/done all the above then a really good plate is ace.

Best I have ever seen is SOD 1T on a Cortina in Cambridgeshire, many moons ago. Probably worth more than the car as no spacing problems.

 

I bought my P1 with the reg- P1 FKU

 

lol im liking that one, a lot of p1 seem to have a p1 plate.

as said before look good but only relevant to the car they are on.

 

2nd best I have ever seen belonged to my boss in the early 90's

TON 4 relevent as his name was Anthony (Tony). And as he owned a multimillion pound fabrication plant in the uk, a cryogenics plant in America, his own Helicopter and part shares in a Leerjet I suppose he had bog all else to waste his dosh on. Cheeky bugger didn't even put it on his best car! It was on a beat up 80's Merc used as a pool car when he was on his frequent hols.

 

that's pure class

 

How's this for the 555 owners

Love this one!

Yeah just keep it simple mate, I have a WRX plate which suits me fine. Once people start cutting bits off letters/shortening 7's/Putting 2's at an angle to make it look like an R, thats when people just think D1CK!
