There are many other regs but very unlikely to fall foul of them unless you're getting done for something else and they want to make a point.  Some side images are allowed, some are not, but if its not affecting the clarity of the main plate then unlikely to bother anyone.

| Dixy Member Since: 09 Apr 2009 Location: Somerset Posts: 1125    | I have never bought a number but have retained a few as I like to muddy the water, I use to love having the latest number showing I had a new car till I realised what a prat I was. All the FF have had the same plate since the last P38 which came with W399KYA, it is a Somerset plate which I like but of no relevance.

| TJH1985 Member Since: 11 Feb 2015 Location: Nottingham Posts: 675    | That’s the odd thing, I absolutely love the original plate on my Elise which is just a standard 1998 R reg, I have a couple of plates on retention that are nice but there’s something appealing about the original plates.
