The second one. Looks much better. Griffin - great second name mate
Also if anyone knows of a plate with ROA81E or ROA61E give me a bell.
Also I found out that LOW16K was never issued, but then again the same site said my mini's plate was never issued! LOWICK is my second name, I'd like to know if anyone has this plate and if so how much do you want for it?

To be honnest, if you are plannening on useing this B*****dised reg plate on the road, then you will get busted big time.
It is pretty smart like, and the second one was much better!

There is "B1NGF" going for £1k on a plate website. I wouldnt mind it and stick a bolt on the far right. See attachment...

Apparently you have to use the standard font on licence plates, so your not allowed to make numbers look like letters or anything. Check out the DVLA website.

Also sticking the little screw covers in the wrong places with contrastin colours will get you in trouble, my mates is T80RNY his surname is thorney he put yellow screw covers on the top and bottom of the 8, to make it look like a H...TH0RNY. Got pulled and told to take them off or take a fine! But still up to you if you think its worth the risk?!

I'm probably going to cause a bit of controversy here, but I just think getting a personalised plate is just one way of showing that you have far too much money, I mean paying hundreds or thousands or punds to get a plate that remotely looks like your name, or worse, some word like KINKY or NUM 1 or something, why not just spend the money on the car making worthwhile upgrades, or a holiday, or even better, give it to my charity to replace substandard parts on my travelling machine!!

[rob mini]

well it was offered by my rents so im not going to turn it down am i. they want to buy me something for my 18th that i will keep for a long time - a mod for the mini isnt going to do that. im also not the kinda person whos into his jewelery (sp) so there isnt that many options left
