Nice car, wrong colour, nice plate....well done.
I wouldnt be impressed if my car and number plate was flashed on a public BBS.
Maybe Im a bit paranoid.

Takes about 3 minutes to find where the car is registered too..............so if you want to steal one, you dont need to look very hard.

I've never really understood people worrying about their plates being shown on t'internet.
You drive around all day with your plate on full display to the public, what's the difference?

Your right, you do display your plate everyday, but the chances of driving past a 'rob to order' car thief are slimmer than displaying an image of a car and plate on a public forum.
What they tend to do is sit at home and browse the internet for exotic cars on their list.
Make/model/colour...name/home address....quick google 360, job done.
I know it happens, and I wont post my plates of any vehicle on the internet.
If you dont mind, good for you, advice is free, take it or leave it.
PS. Most of the time it isnt just the car they are looking for, its the lifestyle that goes with it, they may just use the car to get off with everything else your own....

how do you know they do all this
are you one or do you know one
or are you the fuzz
i would find it easier to park near harrods for the day
and get shed loads of decent plates and cars to boot

Another problem with putting your car/plate on the internet is "car cloning".
Someone who wants to use a car with a false plate would ideally want an identical car as the plate donor.
Google said car....2 minutes later you have a donor, exact match.
Thousands of people recieve tickets/fines etc from cars that are not thiers.
Im not a Policeman, far from it, but I take security seriously.
I also know of a guy whos car had engine failure his warrenty was void because his car and plate were placed on a BBS showing him racing at a track day at Oulton Park.
There is more, much more, but I wouldnt divulge on a public BBS.
If your driving around in an old Golf, you need not worry.

grow up mate
i dont drive an old golf
look me up
i will not be an accessory to a car crime, not my thing
as for cloning, my uncle had his megane scenic done
they dont clone supercars to avoid congestion charge fines
and if you drive on track with your road plate showing
you must be some sort of twit or not bothered

never ever "got" the idea of private plates
the whole phrase is an oxymoron imo
if they really want privacy get a simple generic plate not **** H0L3
i saw a plate once on a Porsche that was so convoluted the poor idiot had to have tiny explanatory text below it – apparently it spelt his initials (sort of) and his birthday!!!
I would just about tolerate 355 GTS
