Evening.
So, V12 number plates, what do you think? Good/bad/indifferent? Many on here have them?
My initials are MR and I've just paid next to nothing for V12VMR that I want to put on a V12 Vantage. Sound like a good idea or a bit naff? I've never bothered with private plates before.
Views?

Morning
Interesting answers, thanks very much.
I've always been of the opinion, it's an M5, why have M5 on the number plate?! Plates stretched and screws added to make a word when there really isn't one I find simply odd. No idea why I bought V12VMR, I think it was because plates seem absurdly expensive and this was only cheap so I don't mind if I don't actually put it on. I suppose I will know when I pick the car up and it tells me what it wants!
Many thanks for your views.

What does it matter what other people think... I think that a tasteful private reg always looks nice and V12V on a V12V is Interesting answers, thanks very much.

... Its plates that have been altered like you said with screws and dodgy letters etc to make them look like a word.
Im a sucker for private reg's Ive got 5 one on my Vantage and the rest on the work vans....
You have bought it so get it on there.....
If you are going to keep your car a few years a private reg I think makes sense concealing the age ( a lady neer reveals her age ) and a v12 plus initials IMHO is as good as any and sensibly priced.
It won't mean anything to a non car buff any your initials won't mean anything to anybody that does not know you - so why not a bit of harmless fun
Also helps to distinguish yourself from the track suit clad young whipper snappers in the underpowered Astons

V12VMR. Thats a great plate,put it on. Is this car replacing a 997 turbo?
Thanks for all of the replies, a healthy mix of opinion!Yes cayman-black, it's replacing a 997 turbo, I didn't really settle with it, I work away a lot and the time I'm home is very important to me. The Porsche just didn't feel special enough, hugely capable, incredibly fast but just not the event I was hoping it would be, if that makes any sense. The Aston is so much more of what I'm looking for, raw and special and a real occasion, really looking forward to getting it all sorted and picking it up.
Cheers all.
