My pleasure

Front

Back

Thats the standard format now
Older numbers were a letter 3 numbers and 3 letters (X123ABC)
You can buy pseudo personal numbers (A1DJG) but they cost a fortune (£500+ = $1000+)

When I lived in England there were Sunday ads in the Times for personalized plates. Once you own them your can sell them privately. Some entrepreneurs bought up a lot of highly desired number letter combinations and formed a company to sell them at incredibly high prices....

I wish!

Its a brave man in UK that drives without a front plate. I'd last 10 mins before being pulled over.

The red lights a fog light. You need amber turn signals front and rear and white parking lights at the front. DRLs showing amber are also illegal

I bought mine from the Goverment web site. Not bad for £250 ($475) which includes the £80 ($152) transfer fee to put it on your vehicle.

Hey DeeGee how do you think it would wash with the British Police if I fitted a Corvette front Panel and told them there was nowhere to fit one!
