PErsonally don't think it looks like Mike, especially if it is on an M£ as people will think that bit is related to car and the other is your initials or what not.

Yes the £250 will be the plate and the paperwork for it to go on the 1st car, any other time u swop it over to another car you will have to pay but the 1st time is included in the £250
Other sites will be £250 plus £90 to assign it to 1st car if you get me

Personalised number plates are a strange one really, surely the idea of "personal" means its personal to you, so what if other people cant make out what it says or means?? the owner of the plate does.

i couldnt justify spending that amount on a plate, but £250 inc all the jibba jabba is a good price imo

i paid £250 for j9 lox for my corsa and couldnt be bothered with retention and transfer fee's so i let it go with the car when i sold it. The good thing about the plate you want is it isn't too personalised so if you dont want to keep it then if anything it could add abit of value to the car

thats a good one the reason its so expensive is because its not standard form
(letter,number,space,letter,letter,letter)
the other cheap way is keeping the year mark on the plat, yours is 05 so you could have GP05 MAT
