Default Personalised Number Plates

I've never been a fan of personalised plates in the past ("waste of money, self-indulgent, etc...etc...") but after seeing some pics on this site I'm going to contradict myself and admit that they can look great.

I'm wanting to avoid the "S2000" style plate in order to be a little different and, more importantly, save lots of money. I've done a couple of searches and the best/cheapest I've found so far is "SM04 JDM" which is a snip at

Is this for your MY2000? If so, that plate won't be legal - you can't have a plate that makes the car appear younger than it is and your suggestion certainly does that.

Oh, and S Marshall is a very common name you know - not least around here. I am glad you don't have the common colour of car to go with it.

Someone on here already has S200 0SM. He crashed the car a while back but I think he was keeping hold of the plate in case he bought another one.

My car came with a S200 O personalised plate already so it wasn't even a decision for me.

I bet your BURGUNDY plate cost quite a bit Roadkill.......;-)

Did he? He kept that quiet (or at least it passed me by if he posted about it, anyway)

I was only thinking the other day that he hadn't posted in quite some time.

Well, you learn something new every day!

Thanks Roadkill, I wasn't aware of that. It was in the back of my mind though, as an afterthought.
I'm sure if I had always been a personalised plate fan then I would have known that.

He posted a thread about the crash a *long* time ago. It must have been on the afternoon you did some work.

Oh, come to think about it, I do remember. I thought you meant more recently than that, and that might explain why he hadn't posted in a while.

Stuart never had much to say on the "main" board but posted some interesting stuff in Off Topic.
