Looks good i've got personalised plates on the corsa but only because it was an 18th Bday prezzie 3 years ago, wouldnt have them otherwise bit of a pain in the neck when it comes to transferring them

Cheers, hopefully I won't have to transfer them as the plan is to keep the car and even if I do sell I don't think I'd transfer it unless I got another mini.

No problem i thought that a couple of months ago then kinda broke my pug so had transfer it for the 3rd time, hopefully it'll stay on this one for a bit longer, think it'll look good on your mini though :)

Lol no just common sense! 1 Mini, 2 Mini, 3 Mini, 4.... 5 Mini, 6 Mini, 7 Mini more!

A personalised plate was bought for me about 18 years ago and I transfer it from car to car. It's A3*** and currently it's on a BMW 325.

nice plate pal!

Nothing wrong with personalised plates, usually people who moan about them can't find a good enough one for themselves .

Hopefully I won't have to explain it to you lot - ignore the J.

What do you think?

I get it mate, they look good. Nice present.
Here's ours, I'm sure I don't have to explain either

We have my Grandpas numberplate he had most of his life "A1 BDR" (Brian Dennis Robinson) on retention and one day, maybe for my 21st next month, i hope to have the plates on my care in memory of such a good guy who died far too young.

Hope people dont judge me for having a "vanity place"

Nice plates :)

Get them re-done in pressed metal, perhaps black and silver

[Noah]

I'm not judging anyone :) and I didn't mean to offend.

But thats why we buy them, Vanity. So people know who's car it is, and that our car stands it if you get me?

Thats why I think the Americans calling them Vanity plates makes sense :)

That sounds really nice, it would mean a lot more than most personalized plates.

I had some black and silver plates waiting to go on for my original reg number so now I'll have to get some for this one - hopefully having a shorter number might help with police even though it's not dateless.

Was only pulling your leg, i usually hate personalised plates but i also like to be hypocritical on special occasions and a mini with a personalised plate on it fine by me

[Noah]

My Plate spells out the cars name so I can't change it any way

M514 VWC - Delete the 5 and the VWC and it looks like Mia. ;)

But if I ignore the J it makes EELBL?

Bit of a strange name

[Black.Ghost]

If it makes you feel better, I got it! And although I'm not a big fan of personalised plates, I quite like that because no one will know it is personalised at first look, and only a few people who ever see it on the road will realise what it means. Was/Is your mini a J reg already? I know you can't legally make a car look newer than it is but you can put an older plate on it as long as you are honest when you sell it.
