Default just buying an cherished plate well happy!

just bought TU1260 2 for about 400 in total, which i think is a bargain! isnt very hard to make the 1 and 2 into a "R" like with a few screws and a show plate cant wait! i think £400's a steal for somin which looks like TURBO 2

anyone else have anything interesting as personalised plates goes?

Can't see the point in making plates look like something they're not.
Turbo 2 what ?

if you wanted a show plate you could have just spent £10 and had TURBO 2 made...

Agree with the above - will look like TU 12602 - especially when the rozzers see it mis-spaced and mis-represented.

If you want a 'show plate' for show use then why not get one with TURBO 2 on it and save yourself £400?

It doesn't matter what you try and do. that will never read Turbo 2 or anything like it.

A waste of £400 imo

Nothing worse than a chavved-up number plate fcuked about with to try and make a word.

If you can't afford something decent, don't bother. TURBO 2 my ****.

This thread is a wind up right ?

I bet 99jdee is laughing his tackle off at how many fish he's got in his keepnet with this thread, i feel a little embarrassed at getting caught myself.

Couldn't you think of something better to spend 400 quid on?
It's not even a plate you can keep unless you are planning on driving 2 litre turbo cars for the rest of your life.

Make me a sensible offer over £500 and i'll consider it
