  1. Noooo, use the Darwin fish! :D

    Mine has 666 in it, it's good as anyone in the know can tell it's personalised, yet it's not obvious. Supposedly the DVLA didn't issue the 666 numbers out, they had to be requested.

     

    Haha! I'd have priests chucking holy water over it if I had 666 on the plate AND a Darwin fish :lol: :lol:

  2. I have J70SHC on my bike ;)

     

    Going on this theme what do people think of the following;

    J222 SHC

    J444 SHC

    J555 SHC

    J666 SHC

    J777 SHC

    J999 SHC

     

    Doesn't look as good as the one above :( but maybe people think it's better than J666 COD?

     

    J666 COD is better, all of the above dont look like Josh :headhurt:

     

    This ^^

     

    Oh and then please stick one of those Christian fish things on there too :lol:

     

    Yeah after looking that those closer I agree with you both!

     

    :lol: :lol: I was actually thinking that, especially given that my parents are both Christians :lol:

  3. Ah I see! That makes sense then! What a selfish **** :rant:;)

     

    I put mine on retention a while back when I had some uncertainties about work, money etc. It meant that I could get a rubbish car and when it died throw it away without multiple fees for moving the plate around. My plate is important to me, it was a present from my parents for my 18th, so I didn't want to lose it :)

    Mine's on retention right now. I might put it on the MR2 soon if I don't pick a car up before next year.

     

    Yeah that's fair enough, just wish for my sake it wasn't :(

  4. That Merc plate is worth A LOT I'd imagine! Any '1' plates seem to be very expensive. Probably more so than the car! :ohmy:

     

    He can afford it, he's got more money than God.. :surrender:

     

    Owns a major car and truck recovery company. :thumbs:

     

    Alright for some aye?!

     

    Does anyone know why the plate 'C8 DDY' doesn't seem to be registered on any car but at the same time I can't find it for sale? Surely it's been issued if every other C* DDY is already registered or available?

     

    It's probably on a retention certificate. It's owned by someone, just not on a car.

  6. Not rushing into buying one in cas something else does come up but think I'm goingt o go for J666 COD as I can't find anythin that reads better while still looking a bit different from the regualr style plates. Also cant find any JNC plates with meaningful letter/numbers before it.

  7. Looking for something towards the cheaper end of the scale. My surname is Codd (no fish jokes please :blush:) so ideally I wanted 'C10 DDY' or 'C8 DDY' but neither seem to be available so I'm now either looking at a few others including these;

     

    For about £400

    'C10 DDX'

    'C10 DDO'

    'C6 DDJ'

    'C9 DDJ'

     

    For £250

    'J16 ODD'

     

    So a few questions for you all really. Firstly, which of these do you think is best, even if these have to be spaced differently, for example 'C10DD X' or 'J1 6ODD'.

     

    Secondly, Does anyone know how strict police are with illegally spaced plates and if they do want to get you for it, what's the fine etc?

     

    Finally, does anyone have any better ideas for a plate for 'Josh Codd' or 'Coddy'??

     

    Cheers!

  8. Not seen that Stillen one before but pretty much the spame thing! Mine cost me just a replacement towing eye though and a favour from a mate with a welder! Maybe I'll get him to make up some tidier versions and charge half of what Stillen are :p

  9. Don';t know if this has been done before but posted another thread a while back about how to fix a square plate to the front of my Z after I had the badge and number plate holes smoohted out. Didn't want to use the stickers or drill into fresh paint so was ging to use a bracket to come under the front of the bumper but paid a vsit to my mates garage and came up with a much simpler solution.

     

    We took the towing eye from the boot, cut off the actual ring on the end and welded a small metal plate to it. Then screwed the number plate into the end of the towing eye/mounting plate and screwed it into the towing eye hole. The beuaty of it is, you can't see where it's mounted and it can easily been taken off any time and the little slot out of the grill reaplced to have a compleetely smooth front end again :D

    As you can see it's a rough job and the holes screws could have been lined up better if you have OCD but needed a quick solution and this took 10 minutes! (also added number plate stickers to just the plate to stop it scratching the bumper as it's a very flush fit.) And of course have got hold of a new towing eye from a scrappies!

  10. No idea if this would be of any use to anybody, it had the notorious lose connection problem when it was removed last year and I replaced it for that reason but might be good for repairs if anyone wants it? Other than that the front of it is in very good condition, no marks or scuffs etc.

     

    Not a clue what these go for but seeing as it has the problem does anyone want to take it off my hands for £15 plus postage?
