Clever Ideas for Your Personal Number Plate

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

One of the most common types of number plates are ones that spell names or surnames but if you don’t fancy this or you have a name that many other people have then get creative with some of these fantastic ideas as to what to include on your number plate. Remember, the more creative you can get, the more personalised your number plate can become.

Fun – make people smile when you drive down the street. If you fancy quite a light-hearted number plate then why not express yourself with a funny personal number plate. For example, you could include a greeting, e.g. “CYA” or something a little flirtatious, e.g. “SXY”.

Jobs/Hobbies – if you are particularly passionate about a hobby you could include this on your number plate. If you are an avid flyer, you could include “JET” on your number plate. Or, if you have your own business or want to promote a business you could include this within your number plate; for example a carpenter might have “SAW” in their number plate.

Patriotic – if you are a die-hard patriot then you could always include your country when deciding on your personalised number plate. Someone from Scotland might have “SCO” included at the end of their number plate for example.

Pets – show your fluffy friends just how much they mean to you by including them on your personalised number plate. For mans best friend something simple like “DOG” on the end of your number plate adds that special touch.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating a personal number plates, so why not start searching through the fantastic ones available at Platinum Plates.

The Extremities of Personal Number Plates

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Many of us are now choosing to add a touch of our personality to our cars with things like initials, lucky numbers, football teams…the possibilities are endless! However, they do need approving by the DVLA first which is why some people’s cherished number plates are receiving the no-no from the DVLA.

Like with everything there is always someone that tries to push their luck when it comes to choosing their own personal number plates, and the DVLA is used to receiving some requests of the more bizarre nature. Some number plates have been deemed too rude to place on cars and include things like; L4 TEX and STR 11P. Well, it was worth a try wasn’t it!

Equally, some football fans are very keen to show their undying support for their football team, and what better way to do this than to personalise your number plate. One West Ham fanatic paid out a staggering £57,000 for the number plate WE57 HAM. However, whatever car he owns from now on will display his cherished number plate and there will be no question as to who he supports when he drives past!

Whilst some personalised number plate stories may seem a little extreme they are just an elite few. Personal number plates in the majority of cases allow you to purchase something that can literally last you a lifetime and you’ll never have the problem of trying to remember your car number plate ever again!
