Getting the vehicle of your dreams is a great way to stand out from the crowd and own something truly special. Many people have a car or motorbike that they have dreamed about owning for years. They will have often planned out every little detail of their dream purchase, including the colour, exact model and interior. For some people, this level of customisation does not go far enough however. For people who truly want to stand out from the crowd it may be necessary to take personalisation one step further. One of the best ways to do so is by purchasing uniquely personal private number plates.

Private number plates are one of the best ways to ensure that a vehicle is truly unique. Even the most obscure car in a rare shade of paint will still have many other identical models on the road. Private number plates, however, are legally allowed to exist only once. That means that any vehicle with private plates is guaranteed to be absolutely one of a kind. There are many different types of vehicle which can feature private plates, and many different sources of inspiration for exactly how the plates should be customised. We will now explore some of the best ideas for personalising plates like a pro.

One of the earliest occasions that a person may wish to own custom plates is passing their driving test. A common gift for a newly qualified driver is a car. This is typically either a brand new vehicle, or in many cases, a second had car. One way to make an affordable car even more special is to attach custom plates to it. These may feature the name of the person who has just passed their driving test or a reference to the date on which they passed. Even the oldest of second hand cars can be made to feel unique and special with customised plates.

There are many occasions other than the passing of a driving test which feature the presentation of private plates. One popular choice is a wedding anniversary. For a milestone anniversary, married couples often choose to buy each other a car with custom plates or simply the plates on their own to be attached to an existing vehicle. Plates given at a time such as this often make reference to the date of the anniversary or to the married couple themselves. Popular choices for achieving this include the couple’s initials or other significantly personal information.

Personal plates are frequently purchased by the rich and famous. Many of the flashiest cars in the country, such as the super-cars found in Knightsbridge, feature custom plates. Some of the most expensive personal plates in the world have been sold for millions of pounds. Before purchasing custom plates it is worth exploring several varieties of a similar idea as the prices can differ significantly. A great way to achieve certain words is by substituting letters for numbers. An example would be using the number ‘1’ in place of the letter ‘l’. Not all personal plates are considered legal so it is always important to check whether a certain word or phrase complies with legislation.
