Thanks!
cheers paul
Have just bought one from the DVLA and the buying process is most amusing. " Do you realise youre entering into a contract with the Secretary of Transport " The bloke didnt take kindly to my reply of " Is she fit? "
Only paid 250 for the plate of R6 CUP. Thought that was very good meself.
www.newreg.co.uk has got loads to choose from. Its my 21st soon so hopefully Ill should get one.

Yeah that conversation on the phone is hilarious! Much better than buying online!
ive just got mine direct from the dvla, there really good. whatever you do dont use reg transfers, they took my money without even having the number plate and it took ages to get all my documents back from them, if you go to yahoo do a search for personalised number plates, then all the links come up, i think it should say number plates underlined, click on that and it gives you a list of about 20 companies.
hope that helps
Can I ask your opinions on plates for myself please ? My initials are DRL so I have chosen the following, let me know which one you think is best. I do like the numbers 10, 7 and 8 so I have tried to include them in the selection :

BUT, this could be good for when I get my Mustang or Clio V6 :

Sorry for the big post, any opinions would be great, very good prices too !
daipac, its not showing up on my pc!
I perfer the 5 digit ones they look more personalised (less like standard number plates)

Yea, Most of the reg. companies on the net, including New Reg just advertise plates that are available from the DVLA, then charge you £100+ more for buying from them? Rip Off
Had my plate for a while now, from the DVLA.
was in a very stupid mood when i bought it M80 OVE but with a screw in the 8 and no space (yes, illegal but ive never ever been stopped or warned about it) it says MOOVE and, infact, people do move out of your way
Looks crap in type, but on the plate looks
Ive seen one I want, it says C11O RC (my initials are R.C).
New reg charge £493.00 plus £86.28 (VAT) = £579.28 plus transfer fee £80.00
Total Price Payable = £659.28. Ill ring the DVLA and see how much they can do it for.

Daipac-deffinatly go for Keiths suggestion!
Kelly-Are you talking to me about £399 including the £80 transfer fee from the DVLA?? Is that for C11O RC??? If so Im getting it!
Rich, do you think ? It does look very cool indeed ! I think I am going to go for it ! Too good to pass up !
Rich, I have also found they are much cheaper at www.dvla-som.co.uk and include the transfer fees.
Does this mean that the price you pay is the price all in ? What happens to your old plate then ?

To keep your existing plate, you have to put it on retention certificate at the same time as you buy the new one. Not sure how much that costs tho, think its another £80
BUT
Theres no point really. When you come to sell the car, you can just transfer your current reg (being your personalised one) onto the new car, and the DVLA just issue FREE OF CHARGE, a new number plate suiting the age of the vehicle being sold.

If you trade it in at a garage they will sort all that out. If you sell privately youll have to re-register it - it wont be the same plate youve got now.
Forgot to mention that I would not hang around. When I was looking for one I managed to find K31THO for £250. I passed on this because I did not want to mess about with spacing. I wish I had now, but I am happy with the one I got.
As Kelly says, onlything with private plates is if you want to keep them then you will need to pay £80+ to transfer them or keep them on retention.
You know it makes sense
When I was at the southend meet the clios that turned up there with personalised plates looked class, they looks sooo much better than a random selection of numbers and letters.

Yeah, Im glad you worked that one out - it didnt look as obviously like TEASE as Id hoped when I first got it. It was a £250 job from DVLA. Whether or not it looks like TEASE I still think it makes the car look neat and tidy, and much better than DU02FGJ or whatever it would have been otherwise.
Think of it as a nice mod that has absolutely no insurance implications!

I beleive mine was only about £400 and probably from DVLA ( I had a quick peek at the invoice )
Well Im gonna try to pursuade my family to get it for my 21st.
