    You don't need to publicise your reg to get cloned, infact it has been used as a successful defence I understand, ie, my car was up for sale at the time, someone must have copied the details??


    H'mmmmmmmmmmmmm;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Of course you don't need to publicize your details to be cloned - it's happened to me - the plates were stolen from my car and then put on another one which went for a tank of petrol then drove off.

    I'm simply saying you don't need to give any crooks an easy method of getting your plate.

    I think we are in agreement here but knowing/seeing/accesing a plate is not the same as knicking it off a car ??? yeah, but inspite of all the pathetic effort the gov has put into "official/legal" plates you can go to any autojumble/carshow and have what you want made up. ;)

    The vectra search has not been very good,however,I have found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170553160045&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    The question is,does this look like a reasonable alternative?

    Further more,is it worth the money?

    Thanks
