Stew Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Hey folks, I know that private plates have been covered extensively in the past, I was just wondering if anyone had bought one as a present for anyone or recieved one as a present? I have found one I think my girlfriend would like but she is VERY fussy. I don't want to buy her it and get it wrong..... Anybody any thoughts on this? Quote
Stew Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Oh, I should add as I didn't state in the first post that it would be a suprise! Quote

Chesterfield Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I bought one as a present for Tracy. My thoughts are as long as it means something to the person rather than the car then it is a present for life. Nothing wrong with having a plate that is appropriate for the car, but I consider that more of a "mod" to the car, rather than a present for the driver/owner. Quote
Stew Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Chris, did Tracy like it? Did she choose it? The one I'm looking at is pretty much her name (with a mod.... shhhh.) I'm just frightened she is dissapointed. Quote
Zedrush Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Tell me about it my mate has C4GE U and he wont sell it lol Quote
lomoto Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Get it bought Stew , ladies love to be showing off Quote
Chesterfield Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Yes Tracy liked/likes it. She didnt want to take the Z to work until it had her plate on so that when it first turned up in the car park people knew it was hers. She did not pick it, but I had done a bit of research first, asking what she thought of my brothers plate (his is exactly the same as hers, but with a different letter S for stephen rather than T for Tracy). She thought it was nice and looked good. Once I had bought it, I waited a while and then went on the DVLA website with her to "check" and see what was available. When I tried searching for the number I had bought it came up as unavailble. So I suggested that we cant have that number as someone else has bought it. I could see Tracy was dissapointed that she couldnt have the number. Therefor I knew when she unwrapped the plates that I had made up for her and discovered that the person who had bought the plates was actually myself, she would be happy Quote
Stew Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Good point Tim. I think I will. She WILL like it. She WILL like it. She WILL like it. She WILL like it! Quote
Zedrush Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I think Val should get this plate: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/M11-NYL-Private-C ... dZViewItem Quote
