Never thought I'd want a personal reg for any car I'd have but somehow the S is different. (Always thought it was un-necessarily pretentious etc but kinda like the idea of a S2000 related plate).

Ideally I'd like 'S2000 GCF', GCF being my initials, but that's gone.

However, I've found an alternative which I like, is available and is pretty damn cheap but I need to move the <space> one position. All the letters and numbers are exactly what I want, its just a case of moving the <space> to just before my initials.

A friend in the trade says that I will struggle to get anyone to make the plate with the <space> character moved as it has to be as produced as shown on the V5. He reckons I'll have to get it done in Ireland.

Has anyone done this for their S reg plate and got any advice ???

 

I have moved mine and touch wood no trouble yet - 6 months.. S20 OJO reads S200 JO.

Lots of people on the Internet will make the plate up for you as a "show plate"

 

Dreamer/Jo, thanks very much for the feedback. Great advice/idea about the show plate as well, I like that. Looks like it shouldn't be a problem at all and I'll go for it.

 

My front plate reads as an S2000 XX plus its 3/4 size never had a problem.. except one bored copper in cornwall, Told him i'd just come back from a show and had forgot to swap the plates. Had a 'normal' one in the boot. Velco on and off

Rear one is as it should be though, less hassle if a coppers following you.

 

Most places will do whatever spacing you want

 

Ruckus/Busamav - Thanks for the comments. Looks like I'll be getting a new reg before I get my S.

Cheers

 

Give www.gtgrafix.com a look - they did a good job with my S200D ** plate. Ask them to use the old style font without the serifs, so that the D looks more like an O.

EDIT: Just realised you're not necessarily talking about an S200D plate!

 

I have R16H UK on mine and have several times been followed by / behind police cars and haven't (touch wood) had any problems yet.

 

I have a 3/4 size front plate and its legal on a JDM. If there is no actual fixing on the front of a car imported from outside the EU, you can stick on a 3/4 one. Regulation 18 with the DVLA I believe

Also, don't forget you can have an S2K ** one. I have one but like you was always cautious so the last 2 letters are not my initials. Its the S2K bit I was after.

Police are cool with it because it actually makes it more memoranle whereas I think you are pushing it a bit if you make a D look like an 0

I use www.fancyplates.com for mine. They are beased in Northern Ireland so will do anything you ask and provide excellent service.

 

Many Thanks all for the advice and website addresses which I'll certainly look-up.


Cheers
