X50, which will mean something to those who know their Pork (i've changed cars since joining this forum) plus my initials, which will mean something to those who know me. Done & done

Couldn't resist buying 911 KAT, since those are my initials. I confess I do look at numberplates - there are some good ones around and they add interest to the duller patches of motorway crawling.

sleep envy said: Personalise plates?? waste of money 
I used to think that but when i got my 993c4 it had N198WPD on it. After a couple of years i got a short private plate with only 5 characters.
Once fitted, not only did the car look much better - you could see more of painted bumpers instead of the plastic white and yellow, but it took the age off the car.
Some people who didn't know Porsche's actually thought i had a new car when in fact it was 10 years old!!

I agree that a short ageless plate makes any car look factory fresh, although saying that my all time fave plate was on an old cortina about 15 years ago; EAT 561T (the 56 look like sh)

I saw it on the 996 on the M4 and now seen it on a new V8 i think.
Also there was T11RBO in the times this week not sure if it was 10k or 20k either way to much money to advertise whats already on the back of the car.

I have 1995 car with an 1986/7 D plate relevant to my name.
It only really means anything to people that know me or my business. I guess most people just think its quite shiny for a 20 year old car!
I do think car or marque related plates look cool like RS, RSR, etc...

I like the 'interesting' plates, but I can think of a million things I'd rather spend my muller on. That said, I couldn't get the vendor of my car to move further on the asking price, but he did end up throwing in a different plate. One of the A911 type. Its got my initials and a 'P' for Porsche after it so it kind of works (through blinkingly tight closed eyes and thick fog.....)

I like the ones that remind you what car it's fitted to.

Never liked them myself but bought a 964 with "C4FOO" as the plate and got used to it. Sold the car and kept the plate

In favour of good legally spaced plates. ie names, words, low numbers, intials & 911 etc.
Got to say though that when looking at some numberplate adverts, some of prices being asked are optimistic in the extreme.

(Yes I may have bought one or two decent plates in the past, which unlike every car I have ever bought have not depreciated......)
