What do you think of personalised plates?

Love them? Dont Care? Loath them?

I don't mind some. [DOCILE] when it was a road car was one of my favourites I ever saw, and my plate I (obviously) don't mind. Personally I'm not a fan of the "xxx ON P", "SIK...", "PHAT", "...ETA" type ones.

Yeah, I plan on getting [CUTE R] for the ITR, true story.

Meh they're alright if they're cheap or free. Wouldn't pay the asking price for a new one though

Nice Poll

And I'm yet to run out of things to spend money on that I need a Vanity plate

Having your luvely mates buy your plate ftw

I did add a poll but there was some kind of syntax error/bug?

Never mind - discussion is good

bogus ones like 4ATEU are lame.

dumbass ones like REDCRX (no shit sherlock) are lame.

funny / random ones are cool, but way overpriced. SLOGSR and DOCILE are two that spring to mind as good plates.

anything making reference to skids, drift, lowness, rotarys etc needs to DIE IN A FIRE.

saw:

caution
DRIFT5
often

today, i guess its marginal as it was on a S14 and not a civic, but the 5 ruins it.

Personally I prefer plates which are either cryptic but clever or proper words - I hate ones with 4 instead of A, 1 instead of I etc.

Also, having had personalised plates on my daily-driver for the last 7 years I would not have a personalised plate on my road car again. They draw too much attention and random people say "oi, I saw you at such and such". And it makes you more of a repeat target for road-ragers. When I sell my roadie the plates are going onto the rally car, not my new road car.

WTF RU
looking at

Best one I've seen

Totally agree - harder for people to remember your plate when it's normal as well..

I do wish they'd bring back the old black plates tho.

Best plate i've seen was on a porsche - AVAVOM - when you see it come up behind you it looks wicked in your rearview

what about the plate U16YET driving around on a 30 here in chch?

You sure it wasn't TI3VOM That you saw on the Porsche? Cause that was on one.

Saw 68IOU1 on a Falcon wagon once... Driven by a mid 30's woman too!

regular customer of ours has W9D969

Theres a yellow altezza down here with the plate some of you may appreciate: OMGWTF
