A good plate for 06

blahblah06

Hi lads. i sent in a cheque and was told that someone else took my number on friday so i am looking for some help on a good reg plate for 06? any suggestions

Seth Brundle

for what type of car?

blahblah06

Astra GTC

Seth Brundle

My old E30 320i was 89-RN-320.
Something like your Astra might be harder to match but you could try something like 670.
What was the number you had been wanting?

blahblah06

i wanted 06-d-21 but i cant get that now. kinda sux. I was also looking at 06-d-45784 ie 06-d-astra ??

Seth Brundle

06-D-21? Why?

blahblah06

Own reasons LOL. Im gonna hunt that geezer down whoever took it ARGHHH

MercMad

I doubt anyone else will cop on to the "45784" plate !

How much is this costing BTW..........around €350 or so ! I can think of better ways to spend that but what about something catchy like 999 0r 666 or the like !

Kersh

Thats obvious - 06-D-69

blahblah06

999 and 666 are taken thats whats pissing me off all the others i choose are all gone now. its 300 euro. I will prob end up getting my cash back if i cant come up with anything today

blahblah06

69 is gone LOL

qz

What size is the engine? Try get that. ie; a 3 litre car: 06-D-3000.

Or the same with the bhp. 06-D-200 or whatever it is.

Kersh

WizZard

My mate has 05 Astra - he got it in May and STILL hasn't had the proper plates made up.. waste of time !!

Just get an even number IMO. ie 06 - D - 2000

And yes you do have to wait until the number your reserve comes up naturally as people buy cars.

ubu

you have to wait until the number of cars registered reaches that number, you wouldnt be waiting long for cars registered in dublin to reach over 1000.

qz

Just go for 06-D-123 if it's still available. You won't have to wait long.

Saw it on an M3 once.

You can't have "002", it would just be "2". You would have to space it out (illegal) like 06-LM-1 002

06-D-80085 - definitely the one to go with

I think 06-D-1 is reserved for the Mayor of Dublin? Could be the same for other counties

5500

Just wondering,if the car is bought in dublin does its plate have to be registered here or can you pick a different county?If that was the case then your original choice might be available in a different county

Kersh

It is where your registered postal address is. ie, where you live at the time the documentation is done is the county letter you get. Unless of course he lives in Dublin, but parents still live in Mayo or something, and he never bothered changing his postal address.

Personally, I like low numbers - they're a bit more 'exclusive' e.g. 06-D-10, 06-D-15, etc etc

Think about it - how often do you see a low reg number?!

Failing that I would opt for an even number ... 06-D-100, 06-D-200, etc etc

69 mustang

The more numbers the better makes it harder for people to remember in road rage events eg 06 D 39736 and may also be taken down incorrectly in the event of a parking ticket.

Think you will be remembered in a '69 Mustang

Well I know that in Cork some of the Cs go on Citroens, so you have 06 C 2 etc

but i wonder if the lord mayor gets a Citroen CI instead of a Mondeo as this car has only recently been launched.

Silvera

I don't think any Lord Mayor will be driving about in a little two-door car!

The first reg each year is reserved for the Lord Mayors in Cork,Limerick and Waterford. .....i.e. 06-C-1, 06-L-1, 06-W-1.

PlayaFlow

we have lord mayors??? ....thats news to me!

is it another person that just shakes peoples hands and cuts ribbons? ? ..*cough*MaryMcAleese*cough*

if so he doesnt deserve a fancy plate

Low numbers are purchased by people for prestige cars, you dont see a low number on a fiesta. What I have noticed is that some people have purchased a second hand car from abroad and fitted a low number that was never issued. I thought that you could not do that. I guess they dont want anyone to know they are driving an import, but a car originally registered here new. So far i noticed a glanza with two numbers and a tvr with three numbers. If they arrived here new, they must have cost an arm and a leg to buy, coupled with VRT and vat.

I've seen low numbers on 'everyday' cars, e.g.
Astra with ##-KE-1 number,
Seat Alhambra with ##-LS-7, etc etc

Thats sounds very iffy alright !
They must be changing chassis/engine/reg number from a crashed car to a recent import ?!?
