Standard. No stupid fonts. No daft logos (excluding country flags), no ridiculous spacings to make the plate look like something it isn’t. Anything else for me belongs in a McDonalds car park late at night. Trays under the rear wheels optional. 

Agreed - No point in drawing unnecessary attention to yourself, very unlikely to be to your advantage.

 

Would also say keep them period correct. Plates of a newer or older style than the car they are on never look great, regardless of any legalities.

Anything with standard font, spacing, sizing. Postcode + BS AU markings complete the look. Fully legal and doesn't make you stand out for the wrong reasons ;)

I've recently put raised gel plates on mine, the rear being slightly shorter than standard... I think they look better than bog standard and are 100% legal so no issues there

I'm coming from a volvo v40 and most the people on the Volvo v40 club site are far from the typical volvo owner of old, most drive way faster than they should. It seems volvo created something odd with the V40 mines driven like I stole it most of the time. The amount of illegal reg plates on them is unbelievable.

unfortunately Briskoda has its fair share of 'victor meldrews' who think anyone with a private plate is a boy racer... we need a separate vRS forum where we can block the fun police.

Some folk being a bit oversensitive, perhaps a slightly raw nerve being touched.

 

My thoughts are each to his or her own, if folk derive enjoyment from their memorable/flashy/novelty/different numberplate - great, but it's not for everyone. It is great that we are not all the same.

I never got the GB obsession with having the latest and greatest numberplate to impress the neighbours.

 

NI plates I think are best, as unlike GB and IRL they don't have an associated age, so no-one really knows what age your car is.

 

(Though truth be told mine is still on a Scottish '63' plate (second half of 2013? Registered December) I haven't gotten round to re-registering on NI plates yet)

I have short, pressed metal plates.  Fully road legal.

I just fancied a change.  SWMBO insists on moving our private plate from one car to the next simply because it saves her remembering a new registration.  The chosen reg means nothing to anyone but us.  I never wanted a chavvy plate, just something different.

I've posted elsewhere that I think that the Octy suits a short plate, in my opinion it make the front look wider and increases the aggressive look afforded by the split headlamps on the Mk3 FL.
