Paddy78 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Nice, it means something to you and has ZED in it... quality! Quote
mrchic Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Looks good. I've got a personal plate, but wouldn't mind a Zed or ZZZ 1 Quote
smudgedon Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Personally I'd get something that isn't specific to the car When you move on, it'll make no sense to keep it unless you get another car with a Z in the name 1 Quote
coldel Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Or get it for a few hundred quid I believe it will cost(?) then come sale time for the Zed its a nice little extra you can list on the ad. Quote
Level 7 Boss Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I would personally (and have) pay a bit more and get something non-car specific, but more personal to you. I generally hate seeing plates which state something about the car e.g M3/M5. Quote
4RE Leather Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Looks good. I've got a personal plate, but wouldn't mind a Zed or ZZZ What year is your car? I still have GT58ZGT in the 4sale section. Quote
cs2000 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I checked a few weeks ago and was considering UK04 ZED which was available, seeing as I live in the UK, that car is an 04 and well, its a zed... Quote
Stutopia Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I checked a few weeks ago and was considering UK04 ZED which was available, seeing as I live in the UK, that car is an 04 and well, its a zed... Ha! I was considering that one the other day, great minds and all that! I finally decided I'd prefer one that "hides" the age of my Zed as I think it's style and condition belies it's years. Quote
bronzee Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Say if in the future you part with your Z, and it stays on the car, it continues the history of the car in a way if you hang around here. Quote
14N Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I got a great wife as she loves fast. Loves fast what? I like the plate. ticks both 'personal to you' and 'relates to the car' boxes. Would probably need to stay with the car though. Quote

Ekona Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 The wife wants to get me a personalised plate for my birthday which is sweet she found this on the DVLA site nothing special but is good for me. RD05 ZED my initials ,year and ZED as i say nothing to special but its a nice touch and a meal on her . I got a great wife as she loves fast. Not too bad, but I'd probably stay away from ZED in the title too for when you take it with you. Mine's R20 DNM which I got when I had my VXR220 no.20, so it worked perfectly for that car but it doesn't look (that) ridiculous on anything else. Might be worth thinking about? I've seen much worse though, your wife has good taste Quote
AliveBoy Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I've got M666 MWD, MWD are my initials, and I wanted a plate which wasn't too obviously a personal one and it hides the ages of cars quite nicely. My mum has P1 OOH which I expect will shoot up in value shortly once the first McLaren P1's roll out of the showrooms! Quote
Ekona Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Hell yeah! If she's not attached to it, I'd very tempted to chuck that up for sale for a few grand. Quote
rabbitstew Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 My mum has P1 OOH which I expect will shoot up in value shortly once the first McLaren P1's roll out of the showrooms! With brown being the new black for car colours, that plate could be quite popular. 1 Quote

Unfortunately she is lol, she's Winnie the Pooh mad and bought it for that reason. She got offered what I would consider to be a very good sum a few years ago by someone in a Subaru P1! 1 Quote
Chesterfield Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Ive kind of tied my hands on having cars older than 2011 now, as all the plates Ive bought recently start BA11 Ive got BA11 MUM, BA11 TOY, BA11 CAR and BA11 BOY. Plus a couple older reg ones like C3 ALL and T19 ALL. Quote
