well after returning from New York i decided to buy the wife a little gift which has her initials on and just finishes the car off and she loves it

Nice.
I was wondering how much it cost in UK because we are not able to do something like that here in Greece.

 

[ans]

this one was £400 so not to bad and that includes the transfer fee

We did a similar thing when we got the C-HR my initials 17 wife's initials - again £400, but one letter different with my wife's initials and it would have jumped up to £1000

@david63 did you buy from dvla direct which is what i did or a company,
last time i did it was on my slk and only took 4 days from buying to being able to put plates on the car

[/quoteDVLA - but we bought it as a "Christmas present" so we had it in plenty of time.

Paid £250 from DVLA
Spotted a 10 plate that almost spells surname. Very happy

 

[MerlyWerly]

yes theres a lot of CHR plates around Pretty cheap too.

In Germany we are stuck with the first part of the registration plate (town name) but after that, if you are lucky you can find one with your initials plus a date of your choice. No way nearly as expensive as the UK

well that was the quickest yet, 2 days, documents turned up today so rang insurance company put plates on done, also popped into Toyota and update them as well

Here we just get a plate.. and that stays with the car forever. No change possible.

I'll think about it :lol:

 

[southpatt]

Well...... Here....... Vicroads put their grubby little hands out to take everyone's money and will cater to pretty much anything - for a price :twisted:

create a plate

I took another cheaper option and chose these as thought would look better on my car than the general issue which you can see on the preceeding link

In the end the dealer threw them in at no charge anyway

 

[Garry]

didn't think when you mentioned the possibility that you would resist this too long

I got a bit of luck with my licence plate.
They are given out on alphabetic and nummeric order.. i got 777 as number.
Car was registered on 7-7-17 at 10.17AM

Done the same for my wife's birthday last year spied the plate on DVLA site
and got my eldest stepson to buy it for her 50th birthday
She's over the moon with it.
She kept her last name when we got got married and the plate spells out her 1st Initial and last name
2nd car it's been on now
But have to say it looks better on the CHR
£600 from DVLA all costs included
Been offered a similar one since from them at £3000 so not a bad investment I think
