Toying with the idea of a reg number for the VRS.

[BossFox]

I'm toying with the idea of a personalised reg number for the VRS.

Don't want any other year identifier other than 09 though, because to me that's what should stay on it as it's a bit unique.

Don't want to make it look older or hide the year of registration.

But the car is set up to be a Q-car so I'm not sure if a VRS plate will make it stick out a bit.

Would probably get my two main initials, then 09, then VRS. Most people won't notice anyway probably...

What do you think?

Here it is on the current reg.

[stregavrs]

Good idea, like you say though, keep the year as that stands out on it's own

Mine's got a 1959 Cheshire number on...

Sorry but I can't really see much point in a ??09 VRS registration - it's just money down the drain isn't it?

I think the only one I'd consider would be MY09 VRS but that's not available...

Wow - more expensive than I thought too - not the £250 they used to be - these are coming up as £405, £620, or £815

My initials would be £815...

I wouldn't go for a VRS one personally. Maybe initials plus 09, plus FAB ?

I'm not a big fan of personalised plates with the current date system on it though, really. They don't work as well as the old-style, or a dateless one (IMO).

Or another one ending 'FOX', to compliment your other plate?

What about MY09 FOX

Not obvious unless people already know its your car.

[DRJ]

Not available :'(

Always loved private plates not to everyones taste tho... had mine since 1999 got a one off chance to purchase, so i snapped it up bin on many a car since then, will be going on the fab soon.. C 13URD.. :)

[Black-Cat]

Found a price for my perfect personalised plate, however I might have to win the lottery first.

There not bad buddy, mine cost me £480 back in 1999.. so they seem about right.

[black-fabia-1.2-htp-2006-]

ive just brought mine about a 2 months ago spelling close to my name cost me £500 with all the fees plus 1 year retension

my name is ARIESS

the plate is AR12ESS

but like a plonker i nver read the small print the plate is actualy a 2012 plate and canot be placed on a car witch was made before febuary 2012 and my cars a 2006 lol but i guess im gna have to hold out untill i can afford a car made after 2012 but was worth the money and waiting as i dont think ill get one as close as this one is to my name. but i would leave your plate how it is as its wierd/nice to see a 09 mk1 fabia lol plus the plate isnt a horrible plate looks nice on the car

[pete_fabbie_vrs]

FAB 1A

Would make a great one

[Fabia_19]

I love private plates! Keeping my eye out trying to find one for myself

[TimVRS12]

Richard I think you're on the right lines, keeping in form with the date and current style are the best kind of private plates.

Your initials-09-vRS/FOX would be cool.

You've actually got me looking now! Despite always saying theyre pointless. My perfect current style isn't available, but in prefix it is! £255 too. Tempting....

[R1 4GHA]

I have R1 4GHA , names Richard Agha

I also have M13 LDS on the vrs (it came with it) let me know if any one wants it cheap, don't really want to chop it in

Rich

I have to wait till 2015 then I can have my entire surname spelt correctly

[ste372]

guy who lives close to me and is on here has f4b vr as his plate looks spot on

[xa0sx]

FA57 VRS would have been perfect...

[BossFox]

FA57 VRS would have been perfect...

But it would have made the car look 18 months older...

Which is why I'd like to keep something with the 09. I only know of one 09 mkI Fab.

Down to individual preference but I'd sooner a FA57 VRS plate than a 09 plate, can always be a temporarily thing, people know its a 09 plate anyway

[DRJ]

I can't see why age is important these days - go back 20 years and there was much more fervour in having the most up-to-date registration - especially since they only changed once a year. But nowadays who cares?

(In the case of an 09 Mark 1 Fabia I suspect we're only talking about a very small number who would actually recognise the situation)

FAB 1A

Would make a great one

It's the only one isn't it? However in a case of inverted snobbery I've actually found:

Your vehicle

Registration - FAB1A

Make - BMW

Model - 3 SERIES

Engine - 1995cc

Colour - WHITE

:rofl: :rofl:

(edit to correct formatting)

Edited 20 January, 2012 by DRJ

[DRJ]

At least:

Registration - FA57VRS

Make - SKODA

Model - OCTAVIA

Engine - 1984cc

Colour - BLUE

Interestingly MY57VRS isn't listing...
