    Buying A Personalised Number Plate? Read This First!

    Personalised number plates are attractive ways to customise your car. You can choose ones that have your initials in them, your name or convey a particular message. Each year, thousands of people buy private plates for their vehicles.

    If you’re thinking of buying some for your car, you’ll have noticed that you’re spoilt for choice! In today’s post, I’d like to share some tips with you on how to choose the best plates for your standard or exotic car. Here is what you need to know:


    Budget

    The first thing to consider is how much you are willing to spend on the personalised number plates for your car. You will have no doubt seen that private plates range from two to six-figure sums. The rarer or more unique ones tend to fetch the most money.

    Having your initials on private number plates is something many of us would like to do. The only thing that’s stopping you, of course, is the cost. If money’s no object, you can probably skip this section of the guide. But, for the rest of us, we need to set a realistic ceiling price of how much we want to spend.

    It’s important that you don’t end up in debt for your personalised number plates. Only look for ones that are within your means. Let me put it to you another way. If you lost the amount of cash you want to spend on some plates, would it hurt your finances? If the answer is no, you can afford to spend that amount of money on some private plates.

    Flexibility

    If you must have a set of private number plates written in a specific way, you’ll be limiting yourself. When it comes to searching for your ideal plates, you should be a little flexible. Don’t be afraid to come up with different letter and number combinations.

    Of course, there will be some formats you can’t have due to registration laws. But, you shouldn’t have a problem finding the one you want in most cases.

    The Internet is your friend when it comes to seeking out ideas for private number plates. Many websites can help you search for and come up with different combinations. Try a few different ones out and make a list of possible choices.

    Once you’ve done that, you can decide which one you think is the best and proceed to buy them!

    Don’t buy from untrusted sources

    As with anything you buy in life, you need to be sure you opt for a legitimate seller. You should stick with either official or authorised resellers of personalised number plates. I don’t recommend dealing with individuals as you’ll get no guarantees for your money.

    Also, if you buy from a person, it’s likely you might come across a scammer.

    Avoid offensive plates

    Last, but not least, avoid private plates that are likely to offend people. First of all, you are unlikely to get approved for them. And, second, they will just be in poor taste.

    By following the tips in this guide, you will soon choose the best private plates for your car. Good luck!

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
