I'm a fan of private plates. You don't have to be a snob to have one. Or a knob for that matter. But I think they really set a nice car off especially with a short plate. My zed didn't look half as good when I took the plate off and the skyline looks a million times better with the plate on
A good plate should be clever or quirky, one that makes you smile or nod with approval when you read it. Some good ones come up in DVLA auctions
Initials are boring but they still look better than a standard plate
