I used to think that these were a bit naff. I had the same attitude to them as I did to tattoos - just not for me.
Neighbour has got personalised plates on his work van and has just bought some for his wife's new car.
Suddenly I'm thinking, I wouldn't mind a set myself. I've found a few that would cost about £400 all in and feature my initials.
Then I'm thinking, won't they look stupid on a small car like a Jazz?
Anybody on here got a personalised plate? Other opinions, for and against welcomed - don't hold back ;D

Had personal plates since the mk1.
My initials and the wife's initials, the number was the year of the mk1.
Don't forget, you can make the car look older but not younger.

Have them on our jazz, find it's easier to remember. Wouldn't pay a fortune for them though.
-
got ours cheapish through DVLA for anniversary - big points gain BG07MCB, CB07MBG, basically initials of one in 07 married initials of other.
-
I bought mine direct from the DVLA for £250 and this included the cost of installing on the first car. After that, it costs £80 if you change it to another vehicle.

Each to their own and all, but no way would I put personal plates on my motors. They get reg numbers for free, and the govt get enough tax already. As for making your car stand out? They do, but not necessarily in a good way! I'm very happy to keep the issued plate and blend into the crowd. 8)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm going to put my proposal to the sternest test yet - my oldest daughter. Hoots of derision from that quarter might see me shelving the idea :)
Interestingly my current plate already contains my wife's initials - purely by chance.
-
Bought my Jazz when 6 months old and prior owners personalised plate. As I do not care, and changing costs money, it stays.

Cheaper to change your name to match the registration of your car.

Several years ago, on a trip to New Zealand, we were surprised that one of our hire cars included my wife's name on the plate. I thought they arranged it like that for everyone ...

They do, I got 'ID 10T'

Good idea. In my case Donald Duck will do nicely ;D (last 3 letters are DDN)
-
In California, any series of seven letters can be used (as long as no one has them already). A couple I knew have LIZ N LES. One car I saw had BALLOCK. Obviously an ex-pat.

A few years ago in Austria a new number plate system allowed the the region indicator (eg' I' for Innsbruck) followed by almost any name you wanted. My friend Rudi was too late to get I Rudi. But you will see lots of cars with names or , I Audi ,I BMW etc.
The number plate is actually identified to the owner not the car. They can use the same number on two different cars - eg a summer car and a winter car .If one is laid up in the off season. It used to be quite common to have a nice car for the summer and an old wreck/4x4 for winter.

I wouldn't have thought J0CKO would be a valid UK numberplate.
-
It is with a very small tweak
-
Saw a Honda today with "OAP" .The prefix predated the car so must be a private plate. Either proud of his honourable status , or his name is something like Oscar Alan Parker ;D
-
The sort that always make me sigh, are those that relate to the car. Such as 'V70' plate on a Volvo or 'X5' on their BMW. I mean, what are they thinking? The motor already has a badge......
On the flip side though, a local bus company has 'BUS' plates on some of their fleet which always makes me smile. https://www.coachservicesltd.co.uk/fleet-list
