Private reg question

jonathan63 · 18th November 2016, 18:20

I know it doesn't matter what you drive, and I love my 75 but parting outside some of my clients in a 03 plate car down't look so good. So it could be new plate time. Budget is £300 max.

Would you go for something like IXZ6348 for about £161 or S15 JFW for £270?

My initials are JFW and I have a part share in a business called SLS.

Your thoughts please. I'm trying to take the age off my beautiful car.

Personally I look a IXZ and other irish plates as cheap alernatives but initials always mean something so therefore you are not just trying to hide the age with initials
But each to their own I suppose

Personally I think the plates with your initials look good but the IXJ option just makes it look like odd. If you can get your initials for that little you are doing well, don't forget you also need to pay £80 to transfer it.

It is also worth paying for a good valet to knock many years off a car and I don't mean the local Polish car wash. A proper valet takes a few hours and removes years of grime.

Well that's up to you, initials are good as they can be kept for life

I have KGW 563A (Keith Garry Winson) on my Tourer and an Irish Plate SXI 5380 on my ZT.

If I had one car it would be my initials for sure

Go for initials, I've still got my old plate on retention that I bought many years ago when things were a lot cheaper ..... R1 SWJ - must put that on the after Christmas to do list.

If they still made Rover/MG I would try and get KE11THW

.

I have S15 MJM on my coupe,MJM being my initials.The S and the 5 appear very similar making the plate look symmetrical.

I agree with what others have said,nice if you can use your initials to keep your car ageless
