Each to their own, but I just don't see the attraction of paying a fair chunk of money for the "privilege" of displaying a different set of letters and numbers to the front and back of my car. :idunno:
I prefer to think of it as a "stealth tax" by the DVLA on vain people. :fuelfire:

I get that, and as I said I have some conflict in my decision to put a private reg on my coupe. Ultimately though I've got a 3 litre two seater, and judgemental types will likely think I'm a prat in the grip of a mid-life crisis whether I put on the private plate or not.
I don't know whether it's vanity so much, but I see an upside in removing the plate that screams "this car is 12 years old".
I've made the decision toassign the private plate to my coupe. I got my V5 today, I'll do it later.
Had mine on my 3.2 tt and moved it to the z.
I like it, and that’s all that matters

private plate Y6 LON £500 all in.
I don’t mind private plates, but I abhor badly/dodgily/illegally-spaced plates.
If you’ve got to mis-space, alter the font, add screws, etc. to make it say what you want, then I think vanity has overcome sense.
#1 saw one on a RangeRover on Tuesday ‘MR 61BB R’ - but I’d bet he’d be on pistonheads straight away if plod had the temerity to pull him over for it :headbang:
#2 saw CHRISSY on something too, but it was actually something like CH12•SSV
