Ekona Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Please don't do JE5 4BBS, that just looks awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 ^ unfortunately I think that's the only way to do it that'll make any sense! possibly on a square plate, ie JE5 4BBS possibly with a subtly placed bolt to make the 4 look more like an A. but i'm clutching at straws here, JE54 BBS does not say James Abbs!

Wasso Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The ONLY way in which it should be presented is..... JE54 BBS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumpy000 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 I know right! A tad gutted but can't show it. She's tried bless her. I did think about the whole JE5 4BBS. But as u say it a tad crap. Lol. Well I guess Il have to smile and just go with normal plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuggerz Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have difficulty finding a good private plate... as I do not want my initials on it due to the spelling SAG lool (my parents obviously didn't think this through) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Why is SAG bad? Looks fine to me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess Il have to smile and just go with normal plate. its the thought that counts! any car related gift is a step in the right direction and should be rewarded.

mdunbar Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's close enough, even presented legally. Better than getting pulled by the coppers all the time, or shelling out thousands on a plate that gets closer to what you want to say. I just went for the dyslexic approach and because I am a tight old git - my name is Dunbar and I have D1 NBR. I know what it means and it disguises the age of my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I think it will look fine in its correct format, people that know you will see its a private plate an understand about the 4 and A.

Gerry40 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) I've always been called Gez by my mates and family so was well chuffed when I found this NI plate for sale GEZ 212 to put on my recently purchased Zed. The 212 is loosely significant as I got made redundant in 2012 and started working for myself, the last three years have worked out better than I could have dreamed of ( especially this year ) in fact enabling me to treat myself to the Zed.
