    DVLA sell plates

    http://dvlaregistrations.direct.gov.uk/

    Alternativly you can just google private plates and try and find the cheapest supplier for the plate you want.

    The DVLA are the best to buy from as it then comes direct from them and the fees are included in the price as far as I can remember without any 'middle-man'

    If someone bought me a private plate as a pressie I'd slap them. Very hard. Unless they were offering to pay all the costs involved when I changed my car...

    At the moment £80.00
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    reg transfers are good if you can find what you want, haggle like hell with though as they will do a deal on your behalf

    If you don't want to pay the money, you don't have to.

    Got to agree.....I detest these and have contempt for the people that buy these pointless items

    It's expensive, makes the owner look completely narcissistic and ultimately means nothing...and this comes from someone who has bought one as a gift for someone donkey's years ago. (Car and plate still in perfect working order though).

    If someone feels the need for a personalised numberplate I'd advise spending that time and money on a good psychiatrist instead.
