Private Plates, so frustrating!

[S2 PTH]

On my previous car (Clio) I had the no. plate: S2 PTH (due to my initials being that, and simply because it was a low no. and looked decent enough to my parents when they bought it for me). However, it was nothing to do with an S2, as I didn't express any interest in them back then! However, now that I have an S2, even though its a '96 plate, its still an N-reg and unfortunately I can't put it on the car (due to the rule: You can't make a car appear newer than it is).

So earlier I was looking at other possiblities, and was typing in things like 'A5 POT' and 'A5 CYL' but to no avail! And then I got a bit ahead of myself and typed in:
'S25 CYL' which they wanted £189 for!!!!

I pictured seeing ' S2 5CYL' on my car then remembered the old rule, and the reason why I hadn't put 'S2 PTH' on my car... SO FRUSTRATING!

Anyone else had to put plates on retention for this reason?

I went through every permitation when I was looking for mine for the same reason.

Bit out of my price range! Would rather get an RS2 turbo or something for that kind of money!

Have seen quite a good few plates in the past though: a friend on Cliosport had this plate on his car... (CLIO SPRT ?)



While another mate who we call APE MAN (coz hes massive) bought something with APE in it, and when he said it was R9 APE i didnt think much of it. Until I put in into a show plate thing on a website and it read RAPE!!!! madness!
